Victor S. Waller

Victor S. Waller (also known as Sherman) was born on July 8, 1953 in Philadelphia, PA. He was sent to his eternal home on July 31, 2025 in Mount Holly, NJ. He was the youngest of four children to the late Mary Elizabeth and Reverend John B. Waller Sr. Victor was a shining light in the lives of all people who had the privilege of knowing him. His life was one marked by love, compassion, and unwavering faith in God. He was baptized at the age of six, and had a very strong Christian upbringing. He often said he was in the “CIA for the Lord,” as he wanted to be a living example of faith and share the message of God’s love and grace. Victor was a very sociable person and always saw everything in a positive light. He had an infectious smile and loved his family and friends. He loved football and was an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. Victor also liked to travel, visit new places, and meet new people. Victor graduated from Simon Gratz High School in 1971, where he received significant recognition for his scholarship and community service. He received a full academic scholarship at Temple University and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in May 1975. While at Temple, Victor helped establish the Association of Black Business Students to help minority students excel in their collegiate career. Further, he served as a statistics tutor. Victor worked for the Burlington County Board of Social Services for almost 25 years, where he also served as the CWA Local 1086 President. During that time, he also established Growth Management, with his partner, Albert Jones. They produced several R&B and gospel albums. He then served as a representative for the National Communications Workers of America. He negotiated many contracts and handled numerous mediation and arbitration cases. Victor was the Civil Rights Coordinator for CWA District 1, where he investigated equity complaints. He retired in 2014. Victor is survived by the love of his life of almost 43 years, Elaine Ruth (Weaver), his sister Royell E. Simpson (wife of the late James L. Simpson), his sister-in-law Menthele “Mikki” Waller (wife of the late Dr. John B. Waller Jr.), his daughter Aronya N.
