I had the pleasure of first meeting Victor and Joan about 40 years ago. In addition to Victor’s professional talents, anyone who has been to Victor’s home could see from his gorgeous garden that he was also highly gifted and skilled in horticulture. His knowledge of plants, trees, and flowers had no limit. He had an eye for color, shape, and texture in the garden and applied it beautifully in spring, summer and fall. After moving to Maryland, I often reached out to Victor for his gardening advice. He always responded with step-by-step instructions of what to do (and what not to do). His tips and strategies for plant selection, planting, and fertilizing invariably proved to be sound. I often requested and was happy to receive photos of his garden in the different seasons. I am sharing a few here. I will miss Victor, his wonderful sense of humor, our gardening talks, and his sage advice.

My family and I send our deepest condolences. Victor has helped us and me specifically for close to two decades. I am not who I am without his care, attention and guidance. His perspective and blunt nature was always appreciated as it helped push me through some dark moments. I never felt like I was speaking to a professional, just a more patient friend who called it like he saw it. As someone who had many conversations about what happens after we pass, I have no doubt he’s already given my son Brooks a big hug. Rest Easy, The Griffin Family, Bryan and Leigh

Victor and I attended Catholic grammar school together through to high school. I was pleased to see his career choice and that it was to help people in their lives. I saw him on occasion too catch up with each other. He loved his family and adored his grandchildren. A life well lived. Our Catholic family welcomes another servant to God.

Victor was a dear friend, mentor, and valued client. For 11 years, I had the privilege of knowing him not only as a professional but as someone who deeply impacted my life and countless others. Victor was a brilliant psychotherapist, a man who brought warmth, compassion, and unwavering dedication to every person he worked with. Every patient he saw loved him—not just for his expertise, but for the kindness and understanding he shared so freely. He had a unique ability to see the potential in people, guiding them toward healing and growth with a steady hand and an open heart. For me, Victor was more than a client—he was a true friend who took a chance on me when we first started working together. Over the years, we built our businesses side by side, and I know that, like many others, I would not be where I am today without his support and belief in me. His passion for his work, his integrity, and his commitment to those around him are qualities that will continue to inspire and guide me. Victor’s legacy will live on in every life he touched. His impact is immeasurable, and his memory will be carried with love by all who knew him. I will especially miss him calling me "kid." Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed more than words can express. With love, Kid

There are moments, places and people that change us forever… It was 47 years ago my late wife Karen reconnected with a childhood neighbor from Hicksville, Joan Sherry. Joan invited us over for dinner at her home in The Chelsea Estate….she wanted to introduce us to her boyfriend. It was at that place and moment I met a person who unbeknownst to me was about to become my longest dear friend…his name was Victor. Maybe it was being in the beautiful surroundings of Chelsea that Victor had amazingly and meticulously created….or maybe it was hearing Gregorian Chant music for the very first time….or more likely the strength of the numerous Mai-tai's he poured…..however roads ahead are unpredictable….but from that day forward…..we were friends. It truly would take the depth of a War & Peace novel, combined with the art of a deal business strategies…many perplexing WWII discussions…and of course ongoing Abbott & Costello moments that were salt and peppered into most of our conversations before I could ever explain how two peas from such different pods stayed friends for those many years….and now with a broken heart I must accept those joys are now only memories…. For those who were fortunate to spend length’s of time with Victor, you understand full well the depth and swing within his pendulum…which on both ends of the equation left us knowing we were in the presence of a very caring unique man. The tales are too many to even attempt….which over many years you’d catch me beginning a story with….”one time me and my friend Victor…..” It’s never easy saying goodby when you know the remainder of a journey no longer includes someone you loved….but I understand how it goes…..and have been so blessed to know that he was part of my life…… Goodbye My Dear Friend ~

I was honored to have known and cared for Victor over the last several years. I knew him to be passionate about his garden, food, Joan, and his beloved family including his furry loved ones. I can see from the heartfelt video that he had many family and friends who he loved and loved him. Even in the midst of tough times, he had an intellect and wit that permeated all of our encounters. I'm sure those he served as a psychotherapist were blessed to have had his care and attention. I know that I was blessed to have known him and will remember him as patient and friend, RIP Victor

In 2021, Victor hired me to work as a clinician for his practice. At this time, I recently graduated and had difficulty finding a job, especially during Covid. Little did I know, this opportunity would be the catalyst for shaping me into the clinician I am today. I would not be the mental health professional. I am without the guidance and encouragement of Victor and our office manager, Lisa. I would like to offer my deepest and sincerest condolences to the Marchese family during this difficult time. I will always be forever. grateful to Victor. I am comforted to know that Victor is now happily reunited with Doree . She would sometimes be present during our supervision meetings with Victor during work. :)

I met Victor around 15 years ago. Simply put, he saved my life. I was at about the lowest point I’d ever experienced. Coming to Victor was effectively an act of desperation. He told me, “We’ll get you back.” For some reason, I believed him—and he had told the truth. Victor worked with me for more than 4 years, guiding me through some of the most difficult, painful, and frightening mental labyrinths. And he did so with a level of care and commitment that gave me the courage to persist and to emerge whole from a sea of troubles. If this sounds dramatic—it was, and is. Victor’s no-nonsense, get-real approach was built from a truly admirable depth of kindness. Since that time, I kept in touch with Victor—as a former client and, in for the past five years, as a friend. Throughout the most serious days of his illness, we text-messaged each other several times each week. A week or so before he passed, I asked Victor if he would like a virtual visit from my Cantor who had offered to sing to Victor and to offer his blessings. Victor said he’d like that, and so I set up the three-way “Zoom” get-together. Cantor G. sang a couple of songs designed to bring comfort to those facing their mortality. He then blessed Victor and reassured him that a man who had done so much to save even one soul (mine!) was Heaven-bound. Victor could barely speak by that time, but he managed to say, “Thank you, that was beautiful.” I was fortunate to be able to say to Victor, “Thank you. What you did for me was beautiful, and I will be grateful to you for all my days.” Rest in love and peace, dear friend.

I met Victor from helping him out with his computer and became good friends throughout many years. I always enjoyed great conversations with Victor and we both shared a love for gardening, gourmet food, Scotch and fine cigars. The only thing he loved more than his garden is his family, especially his grandchildren! I'll cherish the laughs we had, and may you rest is peace Victor. Cheers to you my friend! Shane
