Condolences to the Cobos Family. Vic was one of the good guys at Carl Hayden High School. He was a great athlete, and a good American! RIP Vic.

I worked with Vic at Garrett. He was one of my favorite golfing companions. Not only was he an outstanding player, he was a wonderful gentleman who was always fun to be around. I’m so sorry, I know a lot of people are really going to miss him.
Sincerely,
Glenn Lane
