Hello All,
I am saddened to report that Abdoulaye Savadogo, a former member of our community in Madison, passed away suddenly in Lome, Togo on New Year's Day. Abdoul was a member of the Ivorian, Burkinabe, and larger African community here in Madison. He had relocated back home to Burkina Faso, then Ivory Coast about 5 years ago, and had been living in Lome for the past year.
His wife, Tina Jones-Savadogo, is working on getting to Lome this week to take care of his funeral arrangements. In addition to his wife, Tina, Abdoul leaves behind 2 twin boys, Aboubakkar and Ali Savadogo, ages 7. He also has many relatives back home in Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Italy, and other countries.
Tina may be reached at (608) 271-1881.
A memorial fund has been set up to help with travel and funeral expenses. It is the Abdoulaye Savadogo Memorial Fund at Well Fargo Bank-West Towne. The account # is 8787638074. Bank phone # is (608) 833-2800.
