I am one of the many people that played alongside Mando for many years.  He meant so much to so many people.  He was a father, son, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, coach, teammate.  He was all of these things to so many, but no matter who it was, he was the same person to all of these people. A kind, loving, generous individual with a warm smile, an inviting laugh,  who gave everything of himself to everything he did and to everyone he knew.  I am hoping that everyone he came in contact with can contribute to his fund so that our friend, our coach, our brother, can be provided a proper service.   The funeral is tomorrow and we are all hoping to help the family cover as many of the expenses as possible.
