We are shocked at  the sudden loss of our beloved Papa. He had fulfilled his dream of owning his own mechanic shop and then retiring with his loving wife. Our dad was  beginning to settle into retirement life: continuing to serve and support many of his friends and spending time his family.  Although we may not know many of you personally, we know that our dad spent much of his life passionately serving his A.A. community. Papa Mario helped so many on their road to recovery and this gave him great fulfillment. We thank you for reaching out to us during this very difficult time. If you would wish to assist in Papa Mario's funeral expenses please donate to his family here.
