It is with great sadness that we inform you of the sudden death of SPO Elvis R. Hernandez on Friday, November 26, 2010. Mr. Hernandez began working in AOP on October 13, 1998, as a Gallery Protection Officer and was promoted to the rank of Special Police Officer in 2001. Prior to working at the Gallery, he worked as a Security Guard at Christ House and was responsible for the safety of the personnel and patients and the hospital. Mr. Hernandez also served in the U.S. Army from 1993 to 1997, and was posted in Fort Lewis, WA and Taegu, South Korea. Mr. Hernandez was a familiar face at the Gallery's Service Entrance. He had a quiet temperament and was always professional with staff,contractors and visitors. He was a valued member of our staff and will be missed by freinds and colleagues. He will be always missed and loved by his wife Diosmery and his entire family here and also in the Dominican Republic where services will be held at a later date.
