My condolences to the family of Peter. I am the retired SF Police Inspector who met Pete at the Dairy Queen in Mazatlan and later took his gifts to the grandchildren in Mazatlan.

May God give you strength during your loss.

I never met Peter Aviles, but he was my good friend Sandy's father-in-law. Over the years I heard many stories about "Pete"....the strength and love he had for his family and his delightful sense of humor....and how he wasn't just Sandy's father-in-law, but also her treasured friend. My heartfelt sympathies for all near and dear to him. Katie Papp

I am going to miss my Uncle Pete so very much. One of my fondest memories will be listening to him sing "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly." It's nice that I can remember him singing it to me, and to my daughter Hannah.



I love you Uncle Pete.

It is with great sadness I receive the news about the loss of Peter. Peter was my first boss when I worked as a law clerk at the SF District Attorney's Office. We stayed in touch and years later, after he retired, we worked together again on some civil cases. Peter was an excellent lawyer. More important, however, Peter was an exceptional human being: he was a mentor, a father figure, and a true friend. He was kind and funny and honest. He so loved his wife and family and valued his friends. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten. I trust that Peter got his wings.
