“During his 17 years of service to TSA, Victor led with distinction, dedication and professionalism,” TSA Federal Security Expert, Daniel Ronan, said.
“Many of you worked with him closely and many more of you honed your skills under his watchful eye. In my few years here, I have personally known Victor as a stalwart on the overnight shift, most recently overseeing the transition to the new South/Central In-Line system. His leadership, mentorship and his trusting friendship will be sorely missed. This is an incredible loss.“
