Sad news ...

When Abe was in Law School at Notre Dame, he lived in a house with two other law students – Andy Mayle from Ohio and Tony Mendoza from Texas.  The intern firm of "Mayle Mendoza & Moore" engaged in a lot of shenanigans and had a good time.  Tony also stood as a groomsman at Abe & Desirée's wedding.

I learned from Abe today that Tony Mendoza suddenly passed away yesterday in his office in Texas.  It's a sad loss for his law school partners – and close friends.

Abe says Tony visited him in Chicago just last weekend, along with Jody, Abe's high-school friend and former resident of our home.  Jody and Tony had something in common – just the right kind of crazy to make them a lot of fun.

Ann and I extend our sympathies to Abe, to Tony's family, and to Andy.  RIP Doza.
