Just learned of Marios passing. We were neighbors and friends for many years. We camped together in our motor homes and had some wonderful memories. It was such a fun time with our friends in San Jose. Fun guy with lots of laughs.

Life is great when a co-worker is also a good friend. UPS and the "Four Deuces" made for a lasting relationship. True admiration for a great person. What better can be said than that Mario was a good man.
