“I saw it on the news and immediately wondered if we would get the call,” he said. “When these tragedies happen, people from around the country, and sometimes around the world, show up here in Chicago. It’s an honor and a memory of all those who serve in the fire and police departments.”
Bucio will be buried at Mt. Auburn Cemetery with full honors.
