Former City Councilman Subby Anzaldo from south Omaha died Wednesday at age 86. Anzaldo served on the City Council from 1988 to 2000 and served as interim mayor in 1994.
Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert released this statement following the passing of Anzaldo.
"Subby Anzaldo was a lifelong advocate for South Omaha. As a husband and father, business owner, City Council member and interim Mayor, Subby understood responsibility, commitment and service to others. Even after he left elected office, Subby volunteered as a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, always eager to listen and act thoughtfully.
In May, we recognized Subby’s career and service with the commemorative renaming of the Columbus Park Community Center in the City Council district he represented so well. His name will be a forever reminder of his love for Omaha and his career in public service. It was a proud day for Subby and his family and all of us who share his spirit of service." - Mayor Jean Stothert
