A former New York Police Department detective\u00a0who last month pleaded\u00a0alongside comedian John Stewart in Congress for\u00a0health insurance for\u00a09\/11\u00a0responders\u00a0died Saturday. He was 53.<\/p>\n
Luis Alvarez, who joined the NYPD in 1990 and became a top champion of the\u00a09\/11 Victims Compensation Fund year, had entered a hospice center a week after his\u00a0appearance with Stewart.<\/p>\n
“It is with peace and comfort, that the Alvarez family announce that Luis (Lou) Alvarez, our warrior, has gone home to our Good Lord in heaven today,”\u00a0the family wrote<\/a>\u00a0in a statement on Facebook.\u00a0“Please remember his words, ‘Please take care of yourselves and each other.'”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The family added: “We told him at the end that he had won this battle by the many lives he had touched by sharing his three year battle. He was at peace with that, surrounded by family.\u00a0 Thank you for giving us this time we have had with him, it was a blessing!”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Thank you Luis for your services.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Re Blog” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Re Blog from<\/strong><\/span>,:-Joey Garrison<\/a>, USA TODAY<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2019\/06\/29\/luis-alvarez-9-11-first-responder-who-fought-for-compensation-dies\/1605331001\/<\/p>\n Joey Thank you, The Firefly Innovations<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_sidebar admin_label=”Sidebar” orientation=”right” area=”et_pb_widget_area_3″ background_layout=”light” remove_border=”off”] and<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button admin_label=”Button” button_url=”http:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/first-responders-support-blog\/” url_new_window=”off” button_text=”Back to the First-responders blog” button_alignment=”center” background_layout=”light” custom_button=”on” button_letter_spacing=”0″ button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ button_text_size=”12″] [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Face.png” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” url=”http:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/first-responders-support-blog\/”] [et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_post_title admin_label=”Post Title” title=”on” meta=”off” author=”off” date=”off” categories=”off” comments=”off” featured_image=”on” featured_placement=”background” parallax_effect=”off” parallax_method=”on” text_orientation=”center” text_color=”light” text_background=”on” text_bg_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.56)” module_bg_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” title_all_caps=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] [\/et_pb_post_title][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] 9\/11 first responder Luis Alvarez, who fought for victims’ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35496,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-first-responders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35365"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35365\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35497,"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35365\/revisions\/35497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
