 It is with deep sorrow that I must report, as most of our members already know, Post Commander Roy Lucero passed away on Monday April 14, 2014. Services were held in Albuquerque on April 18, 2014. Our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Ginny. Ginny has requested that Post 44 hold a memorial for Roy on May 3^rd at 3pm.
