I am a clerk at WFRS and Mario was here during my learning curve. He was never too busy to stop what he was doing to explain how something worked, or why something was as it was. He never made me feel foolish for asking and when I think of him, I smile. My condolences on your enormous loss.

My condolences to your family...

Dear Sharon, Mike and Dave: Our sincerest heartfelt sympathies go out to you. Mario always made us laugh - no matter what waves were coming at us. His famous "Piva spin" on the dance floor, describing the boat generator noise as 'potatoe, potatoe, potatoe', and making sure that every man knew who the keepers of eggs were, will always stay in our memories. He was my teacher (for docking Baby Gator), a comedian (for letting us think there are fish in the North Channel) and our best friend and will remain as such until we meet again in Covered Portage Cove...a little piece of Heaven on Earth. Hugs to each of you, Chris and Sharon
