Mariano Antopia Jr.

Remember Me

Don't remember me with sadness, Don't remember me with tears, Remember all the laughter.

We've shared throughout the years.

Now 1 am contented,

That my life it was worthwhile,

Knowing that I passed along the way,

I made somebody smile.

When you are walking down the street, And you've got me on your mind.

I'm walking in your footsteps, Only half a step behind.

So please don't be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight, Remember that Im with you, Each morning, noon and night.

Mariano was a painter for over 20 years. When he wasn't working he loved to go to the coast to go swimming and fishing. He loved sitting outside listening to Rock n Roll and classic rock (playing his air guitar). He loved hanging out with family, telling jokes and playing horse shoes. He also loved staying up all night playing poker. He loved playing basketball with the boys, (Always got everyone with his famous hook shot). He loved watching the San Antonio Spurs and was a die hard Dallas Cowboys Fan. On Sundays he loved to Barbecue and watch the cowboys (Even thru these losing years, he remained a fan lol)
