God has a great and wonderful angel in heaven, Mario! What a real gentleman and so sincere. I met Mario and Josephine with my husband, Joe at the Panera Bread at one of their many gatherings. Just lovely and genuine people. I always enjoyed the times we ran into each other because Mario always had a story and kind words and a compliment. They don't make people like Mario and Josephine anymore. I will miss you and your sweetness, Mario. How fitting that you went to Heaven on Veterans Day, as you so loved and respected our Nation. Haha,,,I would loved to have had one more conversation with you about the country's latest president elect! That would have been a good lesson learned! God bless you and your lovely Josephine. Prayers of comfort to your family at this time. Love, Jacqueline Amoroso

Mario & Josephine were two of the nicest people in the world ! I met Mario at Duncan Donuts on Butler Pike many years ago and our meetings became a weekly event. Our group became bigger as the years went by and we discussed everything under the sun ! It was like a think tank. Mario respected everyone's opinion and he was a great teacher. He was proud of his family and his military service. We quickly became friends and I will never forget him. He was remarkably strong for his age and very independent. God Bless You Mario. Love, Joe Amoroso Jr.

I will always remember Mario as the kind and comedic best friend of my father. A "neighborhood guy" with a willingness to help anyone that needed assistance. I am indebted to him for the support he gave my father in his last days. I salute you Mario. My condolences to his family.
