RIP HUGO MATZENAUER (June 11, 1954 – April 24, 2024)
Formal pronouncement of death was made on Wednesday at 11:00 p.m.
So, Hugo Matzenauer passed a day after Neal Smith, another long time Valley resident. The two friends attended St. Mel’s Catholic school and later, rode their Harleys together for many years. It’s almost like Neal contacted Hugo the day of his own passing on April 23 and told him that he would stop by and pick him up on his way to heaven!! Have a wonderful, pain-free ride, my friends!! You are together again in that ‘better place’ we all hope to attain one day. God Bless!! Go in Love!! Rest in Peace!!!
