Mario arrived in Windsor 1954 and retired from Chrysler in 1994. He was a devoted family man who gave everything to his family. His love to his family was unconditional. He adored his wife, 3 children and grand-daughter. He was so proud of his six younger brothers and always held a special place in his heart for them. He was a man who helped anyone and everyone and asked nothing in return. He taught his kids to be tough and to fight in what they believed in. His children were so proud of him, and they couldn't ask for a better father. Mario loved his garden, playing Italian cards with his wife and son. He had a passion for singing, which carried over from Italy. Visitation at the WINDSOR CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME (Main Chapel) 253-7234 1700 Tecumseh Rd.
