My all-time favorite instructor. I took every class offered that he taught, even spent a few weekends helping him paint his house. What a wonderful man and wonderful family.

May our dear heavenly Father continue to fill each of your minds and spirits with His comfort and love and reassurance of reunion in the resurrection at the recent death of your dear Dr. Victor Streufert, my cousin once removed as I am his cousin, Albert Streufert's son Stephen Streufert. Having lived in the greater Kansas City area for 40 years I regret not acting on my desire to give Vic a phone call, so now will hold on to that until I meet him before Jesus' awesome throne. My father entered heaven at age 86 in 1995, and my mother Edna in 2007. Of their ten children there are yet 8 of us still living, all retired, scattered across the eastern portion of the USA from Texas to Michigan to Virginia and we just held another week long reunion in Wisconsin this last month of July. I only met Vic on one or two occasions and was always impressed with his grasp of population studies and his long service as both Pastor and Professor in the LCMS. May the Gospel of Jesus' love and death and resurrection which he preached and taught be for each of you, his family, the light and joy you carry through your years until the day you see Victor again in heaven!

Kay, I write this very belatedly. My sympathy for you and the other members of your family as you mourn Vic's passing and await the reunion in the heavenly realms. I remember Vic as a first cousin once removed, then as a student in one of his sociology classes at River Forest; I remember him being a loving husband and father, seeing him in both roles as I got to babysit for your children once or twice; and finally, I remember him as the one who performed the marriage ceremony for my husband and me in June of 1966--a very hot (over 100 degrees) day in St. Louis. May God give you comfort and hope and joy in your memories.

Dear Kay and Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Vic. You all, and he, have been close to my heart. Vic and I were also close in age. And we were neighboring cousins growing up together; as you know, he in west suburban Chicago, Oak Park and I in adjacent Forest Park, celebrating birthdays, family outings together like going to Lutheran Camp Arcadia. With his transformation from "Bobby Berndt" to "Victor Streufert" Vic became a model for me of a kind, wise brother and Christian confidant throughout our long lives. In a word, Vic was a blessing to me.
Though separated geographically in our adult years, we treasured our times together. My wife Ellen and daughters Elizabeth and Lydia (named after Vic's birth mother) and I remember fondly our visit to Lindsborg in the late 70's meeting with you lively children, "folk dancing for the Swedish King". Then in our retirements, Ellen and I enjoyed the 2007 Brauer cousin's reunion hosted so generously by Vic and you, Kay.
Thank you for the pleasure of your visiting here and of including me in the wedding family celebration in West Lafayette. As I review my computer photo library I am reminded of the many more reunions we have had. Thank God for them. Thank you Vic. May God continue to bless us all.
Love, Cousin Richard Brauer

Though I never had Vic as a classroom teacher, he served as a wise and attentive mentor to me for more than 65 years. He and Kay, my mother's cousin, welcomed me often as a child to their little first house in River Forest, later to their family home in Melrose Park, much later to their college house in Seward, and--very shortly before their move to Bethany Home--to their house on Green St. in Lindsborg. Their life together was a model for my husband and me of observing others' needs, listening, conversation, prayer, and thoughtful child-rearing--all with love and cheerful humor.

Dr. Streufert was a mentor I admired more than any other.
He often worked 18 hour days in his dedication and commitment to his students.
He followed the path of Christ in being selfless, humble, and dedicated to the less fortunate.
He was passionate about his teaching and gave everyone a pathway to succeed.
His wife and family were his pride and joy.
I miss this great Man!

My first grade teacher at Bethany Lutheran School in Houston, TX in 1948 was a friend of Vic along with Wayne Luecht. My teacher Mr. Mueller told me how he and Vic had organ lessons together at Concordia. One day they got to the organ practice room ahead of their teacher. They interchanged the organ pipes, moved them around. When they played their lesson the sound was horrible. The teacher made them play the music with the mixed up pipes. It was not harmonic. The agony of playing their music that way taught them a lesson. The grade for that day was not very favorable. The teacher supervised them putting the pipes back in the correct position. I can still hear Mr. Mueller’s laughter as he told me that story many many years later. LaNell Mahler Koenig
