Hello!
I am the grandson of Jose Lopez, Pastor of the Lathrop Community Church at the corner of 5Th and J St. For over 40 years, Pastor Lopez has been the heart and soul of this small church that has served the community. This family-run church, now managed by my uncle Martin Fuentes (Jose's son-in-law) has been a staple of the community for decades. I am sad to say that Pastor Lopez is in his final days; he is currently in hospice care and his nurses have indicated he's ready to pass away any time now. It's a difficult thing to experience, but it's also helped me realize just how important the City of Lathrop has been to my family and to our church. I was hoping to learn how we can request renaming one of the streets after him, to preserve his legacy, or at the very least, dedicate the corner of 5th and J st to him. I couldn't find information on this process or how to get it started, costs/fee's, community outreach, etc. Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you for your time!
