A GIANT AMONGST FIRST RESPONDERS COMMON SKIN MUSCULOSKELETAL OTHER ILLNESSES CONDITIONS CONDITIONS SERVICES Gerard P. Clancy, known as “Jerry” to his many friends, passed away on October 17, 2015 at the Allergies Acne Back and Neck Pain EKGs age of 73. He leaves his sons Patrick and wife Rosa, Mark and wife Irene, and Craig and wife Brenda Bronchitis Athletes Foot Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Pre-Op Exams to remember their dad and all the memories he shared with them. Other family members were Ear Infections Biopsies Foot Pain Camp and nephews and nieces: Brian, Kristy, Melvin and Dona. Jerry dearly loved all his grandchildren: Sean, Influenza Cold Sores Heel Spurs School Physicals Lauren, Daniel, Colleen, Carissa and Cutter. He also leaves his brother Matthew Clancy and sister-in-law Pink Eye Impetigo Knee Pain Wellness Exams Susan Clancy Price. Sinus Infections Ingrown Toenails Migraine Headaches Jerry joined SAPD in 1965 and eventually was promoted to the rank of Detective. He served as Strep Throat Minor Sunburn Myofascial Pain President of the San Antonio Police Officers Association from 1973 to 1976. He continued being active UTIs Skin Tags Plantar Fascitis 210.616.0245 in the Police Union until he retired in 1996. He was also one of the original founders of CLEAT.
On a personal note, I considered Jerry a very personal and valued friend. I met Jerry a few times during our active careers, however, our close association started in 1997, when we were both elected 9502 Computer Drive as founding Trustees to the Board of the Fire and Police Retiree Health Care Fund. Suite 200A San Antonio, TX 78229 During the first meeting of the Fund, Jerry agreed to be the temporary Chair of the Fund. The next few meetings were hectic, as we started to organize the operation of the Fund. With Jerry’s guidance the Trustees started working as a team. Jerry’s leadership was very instrumental while guiding us through the initial organization.
Eventually the Fund stabilized in organization and also increased in value. It was decided to remove the Fund from the unpredictable contract negotiations between the Unions and the City and create a legislative trust in state law. Jerry was the Legislative Chair of the Fund at that time. I sat with Jerry many times during the negotiations with the Union, the City and the Retirees. He was at the top SAPOA of his league when it came to negotiations. His suggestions and advice kept the negotiations moving and many times helped to work through an impasse. In Austin, Jerry was on a first name basis with most of the legislators and officers of State COMPANY Government. He was very well known in government arenas. Eventually an agreement was forged with the City and the Unions, and the Fund was enacted into state law. Jerry was a prime mover of the legislation that set the Fund into state law. Hard work by the Fund’s Trustees and the guidance by Jerry propelled the Fund from a baby of $42,000,000.00 to the present $325,000,000.00. Today the Fund STORE is a recognized national model of conservative, prefunded retirement health benefits rather than the “pay-as-you-go” underfunded plans across the country.
All first responders, and especially retirees, should take pause and reflect on all the benefits that OPEN M-F all enjoy today. There were many good men and women that helped us get the benefits and job protections we have now; however, Jerry Clancy clearly stands out as a major contributor to those 8A TO 4:30P advancements in benefits and job protections. Your retirement security with pension and health care benefits, and those of your spouses and beneficiaries, is due in large part to Jerry’s many contributions. Duty Gear & Holsters I know that Jerry would want each of you to remember to “stay strong and safe,” working together SAPOA & SAPD Clothes, Caps & Mugs to insure public safety employees get the benefits and recognition they deserve.—Henry Trevino 1939 NE Loop 410, Ste. 300 • 210.822.4428
