My brother-in-law Mario was appreciated and loved and will be remembered in part, for his being there for my family, he took the time to show he cared, through the difficult times. He was a great uncle to my kids, and a good brother to George. He will be missed till we see him again.

Only in the last year or so have I had the pleasure of getting to know Mario. Besides his gentle nature, what I liked best about him was how he appeared so serious that, when he laughed, it almost surprised me! It was a delight and a special gift he gave to others and it made my heart smile.
My deepest condolences to his family. You are all in my prayers.

A friend of whom I will truly miss. I will miss our long telephone conversations since our retirement from EDS. To his family, My prayers are that God be with you to comfort and keep you during this time of your missing him. Remember, a person is only lost, when you don't know where they are.

My deepest sympathy to Mario's entire family. Being around or talking to Mario always guaranteed a good laugh and it always helped take away from the daily grind and stress. I kept running the weekly NFL football pool mainly just for Mario, despite his late payments and me having to provide him website and Internet assistance :) Thus, this upcoming season will be done in his memory. Thanks for the memories and good times, you will be missed my friend.
