My condolences to John and Rae's family. We were friends from Madison days. I was Rae's roommate after she graduated from UW nursing school and I was an undergraduate. I have many, many happy memories from those times. In the early eighties I even met all the Mangos daughters as the Mangos family traveled through California. I was just looking at John and Rae's December, 1964 wedding announcement clipping from the Madison paper. They both will be in my heart forever.

I apologize for the lateness of this message but I wanted to express my sincerest condolences to Dr. Mangos' daughters, son-in-laws, and grandchildren. I am grateful to have known him as a "boss" as well as an extraordinary human being. I will never forget neither Dr. Mangos, nor his beatiful wife, Rae.

I am deeply obliged to him for all his help during my first difficult days in San Antonio as a resident back in December of 1993. May the lord bless him and his family. He will never be forgotten.

My deepest condolences to June, Marriana, Elena and Jana. Your father was the kindest man I have ever known. Out of all the priests that have been at St Sophia in our 41 years of attending, he was my favorite. He married Michelle (my daughter) and baptized Mia (my granddaughter). He and your mom Rae were such an inspiration to us all. May his memory be eternal.

After almost rwenty years in private practice,I still use the lessons Dr. Mangos taught me with my pediatric patients every day. I feel very fortunate that he was the head of pediatrics at UTHSCSA when I was training there as a resident. I will remember him as unfailingly kind, knowledgeable yet ever without arrogance, a true example for all of us of what it means to practice medicine with grace.

I worked at UT Senior Health with Dr. Patel and saw Dr. Mangos intermittently. He was one of the first patients who welcomed me with open arms and words of encouragement. He was a lovely man and his memory will live on. Thinking of the entire Mangos family.

My life in San Antonio was a short 6 years; meeting and getting to know Dr. Mangos was one of the highlights. He was so dedicated to children, research and his family, yet had a heart big enough for his working family too. I'm honored to have spent quality time with him in his later years. My condolence to his family and all those who loved him.

Dr Mangos was such a compassionate physician caring for his patients while he was at Shands Hospital in Gainesville Fl. He took excellent care of my daughter Angela and she made life long friends with his daughters. I always knew when he was caring for my daughter she was in excellent hands. The Medical community lost a great physician.
