LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) - Sunday afternoon marked the one-year anniversary of Anthony Fimple s death.
His friends and family members gathered in his memorial garden to announce a new fund that will benefit the community in his honor.
A year ago Anthony Fimple was fatally shot while working at a downtown La Crosse bar and restaurant. We established the fund as a memorial, a tribute to his spirit and as a way to turn a negative into a positive, said Gus Fimple, Founder of The Anthony Fund.
He explained that although the actions of the man who fatally shot and killed his son will never make sense, creating this fund is an effort to reason with it.
