Mario,
Your kind smile and caring words will be missed by all who knew you. I will never forget when you told me,
“You're a good man brother, it's a blessing to know you.” Actually, the blessing was all mine. I wish I could have known you longer.
Descansa en paz mi hermano porque espero jugar contigo otra vez.....

We come together to give thanks for your kindness your love your wisdom and of course your drumming. You are very special to me and to all that had an opportunity to have met you. I'll never forget all the times we shared just hanging out at a club or a family gathering or drumming. You gave me the strength to pick up my drums again. You helped me see more clearly and you made me fall in love with music again. You will always be a part of me. Thanks Cos….

Dearest Mario,
You were and still ARE a light to everyone that knew you. Even though you're not here with us in a form that we can see, you are in our hearts. I never heard you speak ill of another person, you always had a smile and a positive attitude. The first time I met you, I saw a light in your eyes and knew instantly that I was in the presence of an angel in disguise. Your gentle sensitivity towards others was filled to the brim with pure goodness that uplifted my spirit and that...
