In lieu of flowers, donations are requested for organizations that help others:
the designated charities are the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Tucson (www.svdptucson.org) and Catholic Tuition Support Organization (www.ctso-tucson.com).
I wrote a previous blog in memory of Senator Garcia (click here), who passed away suddenly due to a heart attack on October 15.
He was a Democratic candidate for the Arizona Corporation Commission (2 open seats), having served 8 years in the State Senate and 4 years in the State House of Representatives. His name will remain on the General Election ballot, since early voting began on October 7.
Rest in peace Jorge.
