Victor was born and raised in his beloved ‘La Perla’, San Juan, Puerto Rico in May, 1934. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the United States Army and was stationed in Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico during the Korean War. He was deeply proud of his country, frequently wearing an army cap as a tribute to his service. He moved to NYC as a young man, where he met the love of his life, Carmen, and they settled in East Harlem, (El Barrio), Manhattan, NY. He had an entrepreneurial spirit and successfully opened and operated his own button dyeing company, ‘Lisand Dyeing’, for many years in the Garment District. He had a strong work ethic that enabled him to provide for his family and allowed his children to attend private Catholic School and obtain higher education. His passion for baseball led him to coach little league for many years in Central Park where he mentored numerous youths from the ‘El Barrio’ neighborhood. He was an avid Mets fan.

He had a passion for music and loved to sing with his Lehman Village comrades on a regular basis. He also loved animals and enjoyed traveling around the world. He eventually relocated to Middletown, NY where he enjoyed his retirement years with his family.

His memory will be forever cherished in our hearts.
