Mario Pacheco

Years later we happen on this and were saddened to hear of Mario's passing. The Cooper boys had some fun times and a lot of laughs back with the 18th Ave bunch. It was a pleasure to know Mario if only for a brief moment in our youth, but we never forgot. Jerry, Jim and Jeff.

Gina, sorry to hear so late about ur Father..My thoughts and prayers are with U.. Love 2 you & family..luv Dorinda..

I'm so sad that Mario has passed. He hung in there and fought that awful disease for a long time. I spoke to him recently and we told stories and Peggy told me that he hadn't laughed like that in a long while. I was so thankful I was able to make that call. He told me about a fight he was in many years ago when he punched a guy and then Darc stepped in and finished it for him. His presense was so real this last week I couldn't belive he was gone.

One of his greatest jokes I remember was..... he was trimming our trees (on the clock Ha ha for the city of MPls. and he called me on the phone and said "I can see you" very creepy voice, I looked up and he was standing in the yard with a hard hat, googles, and a chain saw. Scared the hell out of me.

I can also see him blowing spit bubbles out of his mouth. He was surley a character and he made lot's of people laugh.

He will be missed by everyone. Hang on to those memories to ease the loss. Peggy I promise I will keep in touch and gather pictures for you.

Love always

I was so saddened to hear of Mario's passing. He will be remembered always. May you all find comfort in the love and prayers of all those around you.

Augie, I am so sorry for your loss, I met your brother once, however after working with you for so many years and listening to all the stories and laugh's we shared about Mario, I felt I knew him somewhat. I know you loved Mario very much. Again I will pray for you and your familes loss.

Peggy - My thoughts ate with you and your family. Mario was quite a guy. He won't be forgotten.

Dear Peggy & Family:

Our thoughts are with you. We remember how Mario took care of the warming room and would talk all the hockey parents into donating their used skates. How he would come to the Sibley board when he wanted something like the skate sharpener cause who could argue with Mario?

His contacts allowed us to get food donations to sell at the May Day Parade and Lenhardt tournaments so that profit could go back to the kids at Sibley park.

We both look back at those times and how he cared about all the kids.

Sorry for your lost. May God be with all of the Family

My heart goes out to you all for the loss of Mario. I will always remember the good times at Sibley Field and the way he coached all of the boys. He made a big impact on many peoples lives - he worked tirelessly while at the Sibley warming room acquiring and sharpening skates. He helped kids to ice skate when he was the warming room attendant. I am glad that his suffering is over. God bless you all!

He will be missed by many. We will remember all the good times and great laughs we shared with Mario. All the Elvis and country songs he used to sing to us. He was an awesome person and I am glad me and my family had the privlidge to know him. Love much!

The Pacheco family,
As children, Mario were friends and we played a lot of sports together at Brackett Park. He was a great little league pitcher and quarter-back. We didn't have to do much on defense when he was on the mound. But we sure did win a lot of games. I can still see him going into his wind-up and stretch.
It was a pleasure to play with him. It was a long time ago but I will never forget those days, sometimes they still seem like yesterday.
Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed.
Your 1st baseman,
Paul "Danko" Pritchard

We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new,
We thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
We think of you in silence, we often speak your name,
All we have are memories and your picture in a frame,
Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part,
God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts.

You will be missed terribly...you may be gone but will never be forgotten.

Love you
Antonio & Heidi
