Mario was my grandfather and although I didn't see him often as a kid but when I did I always had fun and enjoyed every second that I had with him in my life and although he is no longer with us he will always be remembered by his friends and family.

Well, it seems this is good-bye, my old friend, we had some good times along the way, we enjoyed each other's company and I'll never forget your friendship and your music. You were a true friend when we needed a friend. You left this earth way too early but we all have an expiration date & you're one of the few people I look forward to seeing on the other side when the time comes, so for now I'll just remember the good times, you will be missed. Ken & Kathy
