My old friend has passed away. I don't know but I am heartbroken to find out Alvino has passed. I'll miss all our long talks and lunch's around town... My wife and I send our deepest condolences to Alvino,s Family... his beloved wife Pat Siva... and the rest of the Cahuilla people. I am honored to have even been around Big Al.
I will miss him dearly.
The Cahuilla People have lost a great piece of their "Living History and culture, when WE lost Alvino..". He will always remain a positive part that has influence many, including myself. His absence will be difficult to get through during this time. I'll always remember him Directing me to always do it the Right Way... Like the old ones did... Like He did!
Goodbye my friend...
Albert Chacon
