Anthony C. Mamo
Of Arlington Heights
Anthony C. Mamo was born July 15, 1915 in Sliema, Malta, to Charles and
Carmen Mamo. He died Sunday, May 8, 2005 at Northwest Community
Healthcare Center in Arlington Heights.
Mr. Mamo was a research scientist for Borg-Warner for over 30 years. He
patented 124 products while with Borg Warner and his patents generated
more revenue than any other employee in the company's history. Among his
patents were a clutch that didn't wear out, designed for the automotive
division and one of the first replacement heart valves, designed for
Borg Warner's medical division. Of his patents, seven were "Pioneer" or
brand new concepts and his most recent patent was awarded just one year
ago, at the age of 88. Anthony was a pilot in the Army Air Corps during
World War II. He was a trickster with a wonderful sense of humor that
loved to make people laugh.
His survivors include his children Antoinette (Paul) Federe of Lake
Forest, Calif., Geraldine (Butch) Cook of Phoenix, Arizona, Therese
Schroeder-Sheker of Mt. Angel, Oregon, Anthony Mamo of Port Richey,
Florida, Joanne Mamo of Arlington Heights, Francis "Frank" Mamo of
