Dear Mrs. Mauro and Family, was so sad to hear of Mr.Mauro's passing. Rich and I will never forget all that he has done for us. When we were looking for our first home it was Mr. Mauro who set us up and when the oil was delivered to our new home and Rich and I truly did not have the money to pay for it,it was Mr.Mauro who paid for us and when we were looking for our 2nd home it was again Mr. Mauro who came through for us. We will always remember him at church and up the rec or on the ball field or running the Lawncrest carnival.He will be greatly
missed and we are truly lucky to have been able to witness this awesome man. Please accept our heart felt condolences. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
