First of all, I would like to say RIP to my father Arnulfo "Noodles" MENDOZA (9/8/1959-10/9/2024) Last week he passed away and joined my Brother Chris in a better place.

He was an amazing man, Wonderful father and Brother. He loved the outdoors and going on camping trips, These were some of my greatest memories growing up.

He lived a wonderful life. He loved all animals, especially Lulu and all cats and spent a lot of time looking out for neighborhood strays, Making sure they were fed and sheltered. He was fun and full of life stories and great advice, He was a great machinist and mechanic and was always willing to help get whatever you needed fixed. He will be missed so much.

If you are able to help out with anything to help the family at this time it would be greatly appreciated. The cost of cremation and services and everything else that comes with a sudden loss is a little overwhelming as we were not prepared.

We still have a little over a week until his ashes are returned to us. Today is 10/15/24,. I will be updating with info on a service, celebration of life and/or whatever we decide to do to celebrate his life. A huge Thank you to everyone for your condolences and for reaching out. I appreciate you all so much.

Ben
