MARIO SUCCI Obituary

SUCCI, DR. MARIO It is with inconsolable sadness we announce the passing of Dr. Mario Succi, at the age of 67, a gentle giant, whose devotion to his family was as unconditional as it was endless. An extraordinary man whose quiet humility was known to all, Mario will be best remembered for his bravery and perseverance, as he entered Heaven, in the arms of the love of his life, Carmela, and with his children by his side. Incredibly proud father to David (predeceased), Michael, Marc and Christina. Brother to Tony (Assunta). Cherished uncle to Elena (Kirk) and great-uncle to Kameron and Kiera. A brilliant dentist to generations of patients and beloved by his staff. The world has lost a remarkable man. Due to the pandemic, Mario will be honoured in a private service at Holy Cross Catholic Funeral Home on Saturday, April 17th. A private mass will immediately follow at 12:30 PM St. Basil's Catholic Church, at the University of Toronto's St. Michael's College, where in 1982, Mario and Carmela were married. Our heartfelt gratitude to the medical team at Princess Margaret Hospital, especially to Dr. Armin Gerbitz, and to the ICU staff at Mount Sinai Hospital. The family welcomes flowers, but for those who wish, donations may be made through the Princess Margaret Foundation to the Philipp Orsino Cell Processing Laboratory for the development of new cellular therapies.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr Succi’s passing. I had been a patient for over twenty years. He was always kind and always remembered the smallest detail you may have mentioned months or years prior. He was a good person and will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Our deepest condolences for your family's loss. Mario was such a good, wonderful, person, who treated my family always with such warmth and regard. A trip to the dentist was always a great time with Mario. My mother, father, me and my brother always loved talking to him. A really nice and caring person he was. May god rest his soul. Hope Mario can meet my dad, his cousin Pasquale.

I want to pass along my sincere condolences to the Carmela and the Succi family. I, my mother, sister and many others in our family were very lucky to have Dr. Succi as our dentist for well over 30 years. But more importantly I was lucky to know him as a friend. From early on I remember the discussions about school and the tips he gave when I went to U of T. To the discussions about our families and topics of the day while I was in the chair. I never understood how some people were anxious about going to the Dentist, as I always looked forward to my visits, which very much speaks about the man Mario was and I will always remember that.

To Carmel Succi and Family our sincere condolences on the passing of Mario. Although busy lives and growing families have kept our families apart, I still fondly remember the "old days" with Mario's parents Manfredo and Carmela and brother Tony and in more recent years, Mario's return to the Castelpizzuto Social Club. Such a sad loss for someone so loved by family, friends and coworkers. As always, his memory will be held dear by all who knew him. May he rest in peace for all eternity. Perry & Bruna Di Santo

I always went up to see Mario for a chat and a few laughs...it was never just a dental appointment. I was Mario’s first Invisalign client and I went to see him every 2-4 weeks for almost a year and I always left with a smile, having laughed about the recent events our of lives. I will miss Mario’s story telling, the banter, his laugh and his friendship. My deepest condolences.

We, Vito and Pina Vacca and daughter Sara Vacca send our deepest condolences. Mario was not only our gentle and loving dentists (since Sara was born)but someone we considered a friend. Always so calm and so patient, and so caring. He will be remembered for his love of his family which was obvious in all he said, his love for classic TV, and his sense of humor. He will be missed.

My family and I are very saddened by the passing of dearest Mario. He was a man of great humility and a sharp sense of humor. He was our dentist for almost 3 decades who always knew how to calm you down with a joke or funny story when you were in the dentist's chair. I also had the privilege of teaching 2 of children, Christina and Marc, at Father Serra School.
To Carmela, Michael, Christina and Marc, our sincerest condolences and to Mario, my friend, "Go rest high on that mountain"!
Tony and Anne and the Durante family.
