October 19, 2020 was Luis Alvarez’s 55th birthday.
The retired NYPD Detective never lived to see it, dying just days after testifying before a House Judiciary Committee to persuade them to renew the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund that now bears his name.
Now a park in his hometown, Oceanside, will be named for him too, reports Vanessa Murdock for CBS 2 New York. His widow and brother spent his birthday at Terrell Avenue Park, which will become Detective Luis G. Alvarez Memorial Park.
