Former State Representative A.C. “Tony” Garcia passed away Christmas Eve, but even two weeks prior to his death, you wouldn’t know he was five years short of turning 100 if you happened to cross paths with him. His back was still straight, and his handshake still firm, and perhaps most surprising of all, he was still showing up to work at his law office most days in recent years. His only major complaint: “My hearing’s not so good. I just haven’t found a hearing aid that works right, so I’m going to wait a while until they improve. But my memory’s still sharp.”
