Sincerest condolences to the Mahoney family, on behalf of the Curley families in Arizona. It is here in the copper mining town of Superior that our families worked and went to school as youngsters in the 60's. We were one of a few native families amongst a population of 5,000. Louie was older than most of my siblings as we did the usual building go carts, playing baseball, hiking, and boy scouts to name only a few. The Mahoney's moved back to their native homeland and although the miles laid between us, the Curleys never forgot the friendships and experiences we shared in a small town situated in the Grand Canyon State.
