Victor Edwin Chavez

I worked with Vic as a 17 y.o. who joined Early, Maslach, Foran and Williams just after HS graduation. He was a leader and teacher. Always kind and willing to help. He called me one year and invited me to a reunion. I was so flattered! I was in grad school at the time so unable to attend. He is missed.

Very sorry to read this Betsy, you always talked so lovingly about your father .. blessings .

Victor was welcoming, a good story teller and a good listener. Many lunches at his "club" (the deli) with other friends and colleagues made me feel privileged. He was simply fun to be with.

Victor was a true joy. His lightness of being, grace, love of friends, quick to laughter, great companion and generous spirit will be missed by all lucky enough to have known him.

Lovingly,
Bob Willett

When the trial was over, Judge Chavez would take the jurors into chambers to see what it was like. The jurors asked Judge Chavez if they could hug him and told him how much they appreciated how painless Judge Chavez made serving on a jury. Judge Chavez was brought to tears. It was truly an...

I am so sorry to hear of Victor’s passing. He was a nice man; a tru gentleman. I am glad I knew him.
