Mario was a retiree of Eastman Kodak Company.  He was a loving, caring, generous, and kind man who always put the needs of others before his own. He was the heart and soul of our family. He loved spending time with loved ones, especially during family dinners and gatherings. His grandchildren were his pride and joy and meant the world to him. He cherished his mornings with a cup of espresso and the newspaper with his loyal little companion Louie, his beloved Yorkie by his side. He had a great love for Italian soccer, especially his favorite team Napoli. Above all, he was devoted to his family and would often say to his wife “Guarda cosa abbiamo creato – 4 figli, 11 nipoti, 3 pronipoti”. (Look at what we created, 4 children, 11 grand-children and 3 great-grandchildren). Forever our Dad, Forever our Nonno, Forever in our hearts. Ti vogliamo bene per sempre Papa’. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the ICU at Unity Hospital.

His Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday (June 26th) 11:00 AM at Our Mother of Sorrows Church, 5000 Mt. Read Blvd, Greece.  Entombment, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
