But his real passion were his family and his friends. His proudest moments were watching his little girl's ballet recitals and his sons on the baseball field. Yet his ultimate joy was the birth of his sole grandson in 1997.
Victor is survived by his daughter, Julia Mendoza of Los Angeles, his two sons, Victor Mendoza Jr. and his wife Hilda Crespo of Hollywood, and Osvaldo Mendoza of New York, his grandson Victor Mendoza III, his brother-in-law, Juan Rodriguez and his wife, Rosa Argentina Mendoza.

Tributes
"Sorry for your loss, may you find peace in the promises in the Bible, and the comfort that someday we can see our loved ones again. God promise in Revelation 21:4: that "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Acts 24:15 assures us: "There is going to be a resurrection", what that mean is that we can find comfort in God's word in knowing that someday we can see our loved ones again. How wonderful to know that we need not fear death again, for God has promise in Isaiah 25:8 these comforting word, "He will swallow up death for ever, and certainly wipe the tears from all faces. What great joy to be able to live forever without the fear of losing our loved ones again. It shall be as he promise."
"He welcomed me into his family with open arms and always treated me like a daughter and he absolutely adored his grandson! I remember he waited at the hospital for hours for his grandson to arrive.. The minute he walked in to the delivery room he immediately came over to me kissed me on my forehead and asked me if I was feeling ok. He was so worried and concerned for my well being. He was excited to see his grandson but he wanted to make sure I was okay first.. I recall the doctor saying ese mucho es puro padre!! No tiene nada de la Madre! Not what you want to her after 17 hours of labor!! He came over to me immediately rubbing my head no Mami El Nio se parece a ti! I knew he was just trying to make me feel better.???
He dedicated his life to his wife and his children! He was a humble, hard working and most importantly he loved his family! He had such a big heart and I love him dearly! It's with a have heavy heart I say goodbye knowing we will no longer be able to visit with him. However, I am comforted to know he is now in peace rejoicing with our lord and savior. We will meet again! Love you ???

"Recuerdo aquel día cuando te encontré en Waterbury Ct,le dije a mi amiga ese Sr tiene que ser mi tío,se parece a mi madre,hablamos y se puso muy contento y me dijo vamos pa mi casa.descansa en paz Tío Víctor.estaras siempre en mi corazon????""
"There are many people that come in and out of your life as the years go by but there are some that become "family". The Mendoza family is my adopted family since I was a little girl growing up in Waterbury, Connecticut. My mom, Mercedes and Rosa met at the Girl's Club in downtown Waterbury where Julia and I had dance classes. From that point on they became best friends for life and their family became my family. I have so many beautiful memories with the Mendoza's and growing up with Julia, Ozzie and Vic.
The primary reason for this is because of Victor Sr. He always made sure that my mom and I were always included in all his festivities and welcomed us into his home with open arms. He had a heart of gold and he adored my mom because they both had something in common. They both came from nothing and they both worked extremely hard. They both pushed forward to see their families succeed and have all the necessities. He was like a brother to my mother. And he was like a father figure for me.
Although I am so sad for his passing, I am extremely happy to know that he is in peace and is in heaven with God. There's a lot of Merengue dancing going on in Heaven right now and I know he's got my mommy dancing too! We love you Victor and you will never be forgotten. ❤️??"

"Tio, nunca olvidaré mis visitas a su casa en Conneticut, los bellisimos días q pasabamos, el cario con el q usted, Argentina y los muchachos nos recibían, no puedo estar con usted en este momento, pero mi cario, bellos recuerdos permaneceràn en mi corazón, descanse en los brazos de nuestro Seor, q está de fiesta de recibir a un ser de tan hermoso corazón como el suyo, lo recordaré siempre..

"Tio, You made a special place in our heart and my memories of you will never be forgotten. Rest in God's loving arms. Your niece Mildred Silva Mendoza"
"I am deeply sorry for your loss. In the the near future God promises us in Isaiah 25:8 death will be swallowed up forever and mourning will be no more. "
"Please accept my deepest sympathies. May you draw comfort from the hope of being reunited with your precious loved one found at Acts 24:15 which says, "There is going to be a resurrection." Until this future promise is fulfilled may reflecting on it provide you with a measure of comfort and peace during this very difficult time. "
"It gives me solace to know truly and deeply that my Dad is in Heaven with God, his parents and brothers & sisters that have passed before him. I would not have a life or lead a life filled with joy, vigor, love and care if not for the example that my Dad showed me. He welcomed and accepted all before him and I like to think a little of that has stayed with me. My fondest memories always be the proud looks & elation he showed while i was playing ball straight through college and the love he showed to my mother, her mother-Julia and uncle Juan. My Dad is/has been/always will be my one and only hero because he started from nothing but built an incredible life for his family which he put above all else. Everyday you will be in my heart and in my mind. Te Quiero Papi. Descansa y esta en paz sabiendo que nosotros estamos bien. Osvaldo"
"Dedicated to the first man I ever loved, my daddy. I will always be daddy's little girl. He would always send me to my mother for decisions because he never wanted to say no to me. My favorite was when we would hang with my older cousins and come home late and he would say... "aterrizaron aviones, no pueden negar que son mendoza!" The strong woman I am today is because of your example. You always charged forward no matter what the situation. You loved with all your heart, you were a friend to anyone in need, you were an amazing and giving father and husband. I will love you always and keep your memories alive forever. Your Cacata/Chilindrina"
"One of fondest memory was when I was trying to cut some plantain and he jank it out of my hand and told me "Tu no sabes colta plátanos dame eso, haci eh que se colta" :-)"
"Rest in peace to my DAD, the man that made me, the man that made me who I am today and the man that will always be with me. I hope to be half the father, husband and man he was to his family and friends. Love always Papi! Never to be forgotten! Your Chulo"
