A fund raising event will be held on behalf of a fallen 27 year veteran of the SAPD This officer died after battling cancer for 2 years. As you can imagine, going through this and the associated expenses have put a toll on the family. The fallen officer I am talking about is Antonio Cruz. He passed away June 1, 2009.
He served in the Army during Vietnam and returned to San Antonio and joined the force.
He was involved with the DARE program, instructed at the Police Academy and performed as Officer McGruff in the SAFFE Program. He leaves a wife, children, step children and grand kids.
Friends of Antonio and his widow, Ingrid have decided to have a fundraiser to offset expenses incurred, and remember Antonio. Plans are to sell Chicken & Sausage plates with trimmings at a place called
Rio Club, 815 Pleasanton Rd. The event is presently scheduled for 19 July 09, Sunday, from 12pm to 4pm. Right now they are selling tickets for $6.00.
Does is widow know that cancer can be related to agent orange since he was in Viet Nam and she needs to contact the Veterans Administration for possable compensation.
