WE SAY "SAFE AT HOME" TO OUR OLD FRIEND PETE AVILA
(He was a firefighter, a teacher, a coach, a constable, an above all, a good friend, father, and just a good guy all around. Once considered a prospect for a professional baseball team along with his compadre Juan Ybarra, Pete probably touched the lives of many a Brownsville youth who picked up a glove, a bat or a baseball. This blog's name "El rrunrrun" was coined by Pete who would sidle up to us and ask, "A que no sabes que dice el rrunrrun?" To us you just stole second, Pete, and and we'll see you at home. Rest in peace, carnal. To his family, celebrate a life well lived. Our condolences.)

Adios, cowboy!
Descanse en paz
He slud-in like a champ.
Good man. Always positive attitude and kind.
El Paya Jerry McHale sigue con sus chingaderas racistas. Y el guey es anti-Brownsville, Juan.
he wrote this on his nursing home blog: Downtown is a dismal place after dark. The prostitutes, transvestites, drunks and transients crawl out of their holes once the sun sets. The day and night experience evokes the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde contrasts. As has been said before, Brownsville is a tale of two cities.
"It's a place for the lost and the losers"
- El Paya hates Brownsville. Nos falta el respeto, Juan!
vato jorobado, limosnero y bowlegged!
ja ja ja ja
Rest in Peace Compadre. You left quite a legacy in the BFD and lived a life well lived. Last Alarm.
Met him when I was a kid at East LL. He was always interested in young people playing baseball and softball. He wanted everyone to succeed. He will be missed. RIP Pete.
Juan, el Jim "Manteca" Barton is writing about flooding in the Philippines, when he never writes about our street flooding here. Is he going todo pendejo now? I think he's blogging from a government nursing home.
Manteca Barton comes across like a closeted dumbass!
ja ja ja ja
I've knew Pete since our days at Putegnat School, played a lot of sports with him growing up. Not only was he a natural for baseball, but he was a wiz with the basketball. He was a joy to be around, my sincerest condolences to his family.
Wonderful caring coach, friend & father. Rest in peace in the Kingdom Of Heaven. You will be missed.
Rest in peace and condolences to his family, great man
Pete will always be one of the big guys from the Class of 63. He kept in touch with all of us and attended every reunion to share the news we had about each other. He and his wife were true Golden Eagles. Pete will be missed at our 55th reunion around the corner, but your name is enterred in the Class of 63 Hall of Famers! Rest in peace, Mr. What-a-Burger! You will be miased.
T0 11:21 AM. please have some respect for Avila's family, you f...king moron.
On the field he was known as “PAYASO”
A legend in his own mind. RIP my friend
To 9:11 am ...once you post in any blog, you can expect positive or negative feedback. Pete was no angel and neither am I
Pete Avila will be greatly missed. He was part of our Faulk Family for over 8 years. I appreciate his friendship and his advice he would give me and the other coaches. Pete Avila was a class act. We will keep his memory alive by telling the stories he shared with us. My condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed.

Charlie defines ignorance... a characteristic adopted by the entire family n yes, he is a good man... at being bad
Charlie Atkinson is a bully and a big asshole of Brownsville. We all know how C.A. got his illegal job with the BISD. SHIT stinks but C.A. makes shit good to eat for himself.
You will be missed at Whataburger..
