The one thing everyone will remember about Victor were his stories from growing up in Corpus Christi, naming every building in town and the stories behind them. Each time he spoke we hung on to every word and couldn't get enough. The one story he always shared was how each day he would tie up his cow to pasture before going to school and then coming home to milk it and taking fresh milk to the famous Domingo Pena. He was the best story teller ever!!

The most important thing to Victor was his family and the way he loved all of them. He is survived by his children Yvonne (Johnny) Leos, Victor Jr aka Boy (Irene), Lucy, Michael (Dee), Nancy, numerous Grand, Great Grand and Great-Great Grandchildren and his beloved Chihuahua Baby.
