Richard
“Grady” de la Cruz died in a tragic accident on Lake Mendota on Wednesday,
August 21st. Grady, a native of Wauwatosa, was an alumnus of Marquette High
School. He was attending the University of Wisconsin Madison and had recently
transferred from Marquette University. He was majoring in Occupational
Psychology.
“We know the passing of Grady was a shock to
the community. He was a positive, well rounded student. He had a great future
ahead of him,” Chris Meyer, General Manager at Heiser Ford Lincoln. “That’s why
we want to honor his memory by helping other local students get a great
education, so they can give back to the community, just like Grady wanted to do.
By helping support this scholarship, we are helping keep his spirit alive in
the hearts of those who loved him.”
