Garcia, Cordy Lee
Age 79, a lifetime resident of Albuquerque, entered into rest on, June 30, 2015. He was preceded in death by his parents Eloy and Josie Garcia and his young son, David Garcia. Cordy is survived by his longtime companion of over 40 years, Barbara Stewart; his daughter Juliann Garcia; sister Gloria Romero; brother Joe Frank Garcia; many nieces; nephews; and extended family. Cordy was born July 30, 1935 in Albuquerque and graduated from Albuquerque High in 1954. He boxed in the New Mexico Golden Gloves from 1952 to 1957 and won the State Championship in 1953, in the 118 lb. division. He joined the US Marine Corps Reserves in 1952 was discharged in 1960. Cordy joined the Albuquerque Police Department in 1957 and retired in 1984. He started playing handball in 1960 and won the State Open Singles Championship in 1967 at age 32. He held the state title for 11 straight years. In 1972 Cordy won the Gold Medal in Open Singles at the National Police Olympics, but is most proud of his 1st place Championship in June 1983 in the Masters Division in Houston, Texas. Cordy loved to play golf and achieved one Hole in One, and could shoot a mean game of pool. He was a very sharp dresser and was an excellent dancer. He is now doing the Cha-Cha in a much better place. Cordy was very charming, witty, and opinionated, as there was never a dull moment around him. He will be missed by so many. We want to thank the doctors and staff at Lovelace downtown and Gentiva Hospice for their excellent care and compassion for Cordy. A special Thank You to our dear friends Leroy and Anna Santillanes for their love and support at this difficult time.
