PEORIA Frank Serrano was a joker and a man who would loan you a few coins if you didn t have enough to get a soda.
The Peoria Public Schools resource officer died recently, according to a Facebook post on the district s resource officer page. A former Peoria police officer and a veteran of the district of more than 20 years, Serrano, 61, was mourned publicly by his fellow officers, who called him a mentor and the heartbeat of the team. Sgt. Serrano s heart was not only for his team, but his children, whom he adored; Richie and Marcy. He was the heartbeat of the team as a planner during events, showed bravery in the face of danger, became a mentor for Spanish speaking students and was the departments practical jokester. He never missed an opportunity to pull a prank on officers over the years, the post read in part.
