My deepest condolences to Ms. Chavez, Robert and family, plus the extended family. Mr. Chavez was a great community leader and mentor to lots of people in the community of Alamo. He always fought for the underdog and always gave of himself, to help others. I feel honor to have known him and will always remember him next the the BBQ pit making chickens for community benefits. You will be miss and Rest in Peace my friend!!
