Reader offers to help pay for slain Safeway worker’s permanent memorial: Roadshow
Q: I’m sending you the response I wish I could have sent directly to Robert Flanagan . I lived in the Bay Area for over 50 years. This made me SO sad. I would pay for the memorial outside Safeway on Hamilton Avenue.Q: Dear Robert, What an inconvenience to you and neighbors for what you think is an unsightly memorial. You didn’t elaborate on why the site is problematic, just that neighbors are tired of it.
What about a kind gesture from you and your neighbors, offering to work with Safeway to establish a plaque, plant, or something that honors Manny’s life in his community, in place of the site? If you and your Silicon Valley neighbors can’t afford it, I’ll pay for it.A: Here is what Colin-a-San Jose-spokesman said, “We’re looking into options. There’s no precedent or policy for a permanent memorial.
Q: Please know that not all the “surrounding neighbors” were tired of the memorial at that Safeway. The essential workers there helped many of us get through the pandemic. If Manny’s friends and family needed that memorial to process his loss, we need to respect that.
