We were very saddened to hear of Mario's passing. We will always remember is love of life and elegance. He would "fill a room" when he entered. Our condolences to his family as he was such a loving person.

With greatest sympathy for you,

What a shock. Vicki and I so enjoyed working with Mario on our recently completed house in NM. He was very professional and always honest and up front about everything and it was a great experience for us. We will really miss not having him around. Our thoughts and prayers are with Margaret and the rest of Mario's family.
