Obituary for ARANGO
ARANGO, NICOLAS QUINIA Age 37, passed away on Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Nick brought happiness to everyone who knew him. In spite of his serious disabilities he was a joyful and loving member of his large extended family and a warm friend to all who met him. Nick loved movies and music. He was a special fan of Batmanin fact, he often told us he was Batman. And of Arnold as the good Terminator. And the Muppets. He enjoyed listening to the Beach Boys and James Taylor. Nick never complained about his disabilities, in spite of the fact that, over time, he lost his ability to drive his wheelchair, play the drums, feed himself, and speak. He enjoyed good health until a few days before his death. Nick was very close to his siblings; Carlos, and Maria Arango, and Francesca Wilson, and to his nieces and nephews; Sloan and Kellen Wilson (Rio Rancho); Conor, Lenore and Isabelle Arango (Ignacio, CO); and Gabrielle and Grace Arango (Algodones). Nick was very proud of the fact that he was an American Indian, and for that reason, was a dedicated fan of the Washington Redskins, much to the dismay of his late mother, Polly, who was raised in Green Bay. Nick's experiences in school and in the healthcare system led to his parents becoming advocates for children with disabilities and chronic health conditions. Nick was the inspiration for many dedicated parents in every part of New Mexico to bring about such changes as lowering the school age for children with disabilities, successfully moving Carrie Tingley hospital to UNM, creating an adequately funded program to diagnose special health conditions, and ensuring that government agencies and health care providers recognize the role of families in their child's healthcare. All of these efforts coalesced in the formation of Parents Reaching Out (PRO) in New Mexico and Family Voices, a national organization of parents of children with disabilities, now with chapters in every state. We are all grateful to Patty Jennings and to Senator Tim Jennings for their leadership of these, and many other efforts to improve the lives of children and families in NM. Special thanks are due to Elizabeth (Griego) Henrichsen, Nick's care giver for 17 years, and to Diane Molina and Maria Favela, who also cared for Nick. Drs. Alan Firestone, Lance Chilton and Javier Aceves helped prolong Nick's life, as did many therapists, especially Roene Fuller, Liz Thompson, Connie McGhee, and Tim Sleigh. Finally, our thanks to the New Mexico Medical Insurance Pool for helping cover the costs of keeping Nick at home and in good health. Nick's many friends are invited to a memorial service to be held at the Hyatt Tamaya Hotel at 9:00 AM on Sunday, March 23, 2014. Instead of flowers, please consider making a donation to Family Voices or to PRO.

Obituary for THAL
THAL, ALAN P., DR. MD age 88, a resident of Golondrinas, New Mexico since 1972, passed away Friday, March 14, 2014. He was born on July 15, 1925 in Cape Town, South Africa to Alexander Thal and Bess Clouts. He was united in marriage with Felicia Jacobs on December 14, 1949 in Durban, South Africa. He is survived by his wife Felicia Thal of the family home in Golondrinas, NM; daughter: Alyson P. Thal of Corrales, NM; sons: John S. Thal and wife Gayla of Albuquerque, NM; Doug O. Thal and wife Kristin of Santa Fe, NM; grandchildren: Adam Gonzales, Owen Thal, Kevin Gonzales, Amy Gonzales, Kelly Gonzales, Alex Thal, Alistair Gonzales, Carson Thal, Kathryn Gonzales and Russell Thal; great-grandchildren: Malayna, Aiden, Anthony, Avery and Mayson; caregivers: Randy and Monica Taylor; Richard Lau. Dr. Thal earned his Medical Degree at the University of Cape Town, South Africa in December 1949. He did his internship at Cornell University in pathology 1950-1951 and another internship at John's Hopkins 1952-1953 in surgery. He completed his residency in surgery at the University of Minnesota, where he also finished as a Ph.D. He was a member of the original Open Heart Team at the University of Minnesota from 1953-1960. He then moved to Detroit, Michigan where he became chairman of the Department of Surgery at Wayne State University continuing his research. This culminated in his well-known book published in 1971, "Shock, A Physiologic Basis for Treatment". He then moved on to the University of Kansas Medical Center where he was professor of surgery and obtained research grants from the NIH and the National Academy of Science. His extensive research in thoracic and esophageal surgery led to the publication of over 150 publications from 1966-1972. In 1972, Dr. Thal developed an interest in ranching and raising purebred Hereford cattle, so he searched for a location where he could ranch and raise cattle, as well as serve as the local surgeon. They found their dream ranch outside of Las Vegas, NM where he ultimately served as a surgeon from 1972-1994. So many families were touched by the high quality surgery he was able to provide to Las Vegas. In 1994, Dr. Thal was forced to retire after a serious illness, but continued his research and invented several new surgical instruments and procedures which still bear his name. For the remainder of his life, he developed a keen interest in oil painting, and had several gallery shows. His paintings reflected his love for the New Mexico landscape and his love for his ranch. He will be remembered for his amazing love of life and commitment to family and his dogs. Graveside services will be held on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 11:00 am at The Thal Ranch in Golondrinas, NM. In lieu of flowers, memorial may be made In his recognition for the love of dogs and animals to Humane Society 100 Caja Del Rio Rd. Santa Fe, NM 87507.
