Hello,

This is Victor Ortiz, and though I've been retired for a couple of years now, I couldn't let too much time pass without taking a moment to thank you — from the bottom of my heart — for the years of support and trust you've given to me and my family.

This journey began in the 1930s with my father, Victor S. Ortiz, who became a licensed pharmacist with a heart for serving others. In 1956, he founded Ortiz Pharmacy, and I was proud to follow in his footsteps 37 years later, becoming a pharmacist in 1967. Now, my daughter, Alejandra, continues that tradition as the third generation to serve you and this wonderful community.

For over half a century, I had the privilege of working alongside my father, my daughter, and most importantly — you, our loyal patients. Some of you have been with us since the very beginning. You allowed us into your lives, into your families, and trusted us not just with your health, but with your stories.

"What we built together was more than a pharmacy — it was a relationship rooted in care, compassion, and community."

Even in retirement, I carry so many of those memories with me every day. And I want you to know how deeply grateful I am for every handshake, every kind word, and every moment you spent with us.

Thank you for allowing three generations of my family to serve yours.

May God bless you always.

Victor C. Ortiz
