Mario was such a wonderful man. A good husband, father, grandfather and all around family man. I have such fond memories of him working in his garden and he never forgot to drop off some fresh veggies at our house. He was a very kind neighbor and he raised a wonderful family. What a legacy to leave behind. He will be missed by all of his dear friends, but especially his family. Our deepest sympathies to you all for your loss.
