Mario was a real class act. I learned a lot from him in the all too short of time that I called him my colleague. He was an impressive leader and an even more impressive person. Rest in peace Mario.

We knew Mario for about 12 years.
He was one of the good ones and did not deserve to be cut so short in this life.
Mario, you will always be missed.

We pray for your loved ones.

A true tragedy and a total loss. Hardest working man I ever met. A good man too for his family, friends, and coworkers. He would challenge and bring out the best in people. He will indeed be missed.

I had the opportunity to meet mario a few years ago while playing softball. He was an amazing dad to his beautiful little girl. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this tragic time.
