Final Roll Call after 50 years of Service.

He spent more than half a century serving

the City of San Antonio.

Retired police Sgt. Alfred Trinidad died

Tuesday night, not even a year after his

retirement.

"It's just, just a tragedy," San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus

told News 4 WOAI. Sgt. Trinidad spent 51 years on the force and

the last two decades working with patrol officers everyday at the

Downtown substation .

"His legacy is one of mentorship, coaching, stability," said Chief

McManus. People who worked closely with Sgt. Trinidad said they

miss seeing him come through the door, offering to help in any way

he could. The 73-year-old had been ill during the last several months

and was in and out of the hospital.

"He was a cornerstone of the department for so long... So many

people looked up to him. So many people. You know? He

mentored so many people," recalls Chief McManus.

Sgt. Trinidad leaves behind his wife of 46 years and two daughters.

He was preceded in death by his son whom he lost in 1998.
