Every time I hear a chelaluna, solo mio, tarantella I can't help but remember the Friday evenings with Mario and family. What wonderful man. He was a model for me in terms of keeping a proper perspective on life. He will be missed.

Mario,
I will remember you mostly by the excitement you would show when giving me a tour of your garden! You loved that along with playing your music and singing. God Bless you.
