Death caused by heart failure due to severe arteriosclerosis.

He is survived by his children, Marty and Jane -- or June -- or something. Final disposition will be at Maryknoll Cemetery where although no such stipulations were made in his will, his beloved television will be buried with him.


Carlotta Mendez

Two weeks before her mandatory retirement, Carlotta Mendez died in a freak electrical accident while clearing a paper jam from the copy machine at Filson Co. where she had worked for 54 years. John Stevens, her department manager is quoted as saying "We all knew and loved Carol Martinez, and she will be sorely missed". With no survivors and no estate, the county will attend to final disposition of the body. Her eight cats will be delivered to Animal Control.
