I am so sorry to hear of Victor’s passing. I have many fond memories from our days growing up together in Miller. He loved to have fun and was very kind. I am sure he will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
My sincere sympathy to the family of Victor Waters.
sorry to hear this news
Vic was 9 years older than me and one of my most adventurous cousins even at a young age-I remember staying with Uncle Dale and Aunt Pat and being amazed that Vic had a rope that hung outside his second story window. To escape for wild adventures that awaited on the farm or in the apple orchard I am quite sure?! I know that South Dakota is going to be a bit quieter with his passing but Heaven is in for a bit of fun. So sorry for all of our loss, Mary Jo
Victor was the first grandchild of Charley and Hazel’s. Thus, he was the eldest of our Yost cousins and always was a leader. I think this explains in part why, from the very beginning, he was so big and strong, brave and friendly. He was always charting new paths. He could also talk and listen to anyone. While loss is a very difficult time, just knowing that Victor was brave to his last day and that he was a friend to all of us helps to lessen our loneliness and grief.
Went to Miller School.Had Vic’s mom as my fourth grade teacher and loved her,have known Vic throughout grade and high school.Always had a smile for everyone.My sincere sympathy to the family.
My deepest sympathy for a fellow former law enforcement officer and very good friend. Victor and I worked together for SCG Incorporated and enjoyed talking guns. May you rest in peace Victor. Thanks for the memories.
To Tiff, Ben, and Anno, My heart is heavy for not being able come to say goodbye to Vic. Though I feel like I lost a brother and a friend, I know my loss pales as compared to yours. It has been an honor to have Vic share his life with me, and to let me share mine with him. I hope someday I have the chance to tell Anno how his grandfather meant so much to so many. I will miss that elegant baritone voice and his laugh. And we did share a universe of laughter. I will keep him in my heart and mind for the rest of my days. I thank God for this gift of brother and friend, and I will love him always. John Stoddard
My deepest sympathies to Vic’s family and friends. Vic had a delightful personality and a loving soul. As a cousin, we would see each other at family gatherings and family reunions or run into each other at the grocery store. His mom, my Aunt Pat, and my mom, his Aunt Dess, were teachers together for many years, making a close link between our families. I am sure he is now in heaven drinking a "nice red" and telling one of his many life stories to the Angels–and yes, they are laughing! Because being around Vic guaranteed a smile, a joke and a laugh or two or three….Bless you all.
Sorry to hear of Victor’s passing. Our deepest sympathy.
