I am so sorry to hear of his passing...I just found out. I will always remember how kind he was to me and all he was willing to do for someone to help them out. He really touched me deeply and I'm not sure he even realized it! I am so sorry for your loss of this wonderful man, but remember, love never ends :)

Dear Lisa and Family:

We just learned today of Mario's passing. We are so sorry and send our sincerest condolences. Jim and I are frequent customers and will miss Mario's presence at the pizza station working his magic. We met you both one day in a furniture store of all places and ever since enjoyed talking with you as you brought us to our table and Mario greeting us with his warm smile. He will be missed.

Fondly

I just this instant heard of Mario's passing. I wasn't around the cottage this summer because I was taking care of my grandma so I didn't even realize Mario was sick. I will always think of Mario when I walk past his patio to go clamming. I used to give him some on the way back up and a few odds and ends out of my garden. He was always so appreciative. He always offered me a drink And food whenever I saw him. He brought me some great Apizza from his place also. Although I only knew Mario only a few years he will always be remembered with the utmost of respect. I will miss him. ❤

The crew at Public Works was very saddened to hear of Mario's passing. He took good care of us, and we were much better off because of his good natured attitude and can-do spirit. We will miss him, he left us way too soon.

We will miss seeing Mario when we come to the restaurant. He was always busy making pizza behind the front counter but not too busy to look up, smile and say hello. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Our heartfelt condolences to the loving family of Mario. It was our sincere pleasure to have met him and his family years ago while watching our sons play baseball. I'll never forget his engaging smile and conversation, his concern for others and his love for his family. May the good Lord bless and keep him. With our deepest sympathy.
