elevated XFBn8 Mario was only 18 when he boarded the ship Olympia arriving in Canada with a chest full of cheese. One day he answered a print ad in the newspaper for a singer and his singing career began. This took him to many places like Chicago and Cleveland where he also had the opportunity to sing with Gianni Morandi. It was at this time when he met his wife Carmela and their relationship began.
elevated XFBn8 Mario was strong willed and a jack of all trades. He worked in many different jobs including real estate, sales, an electrician and ford plant associate. He started his own business in 1980 that ran for 35 years. Although he ‘retired’ his energy would not allow him to stay home, so he set out to find another job. This search brought him to the Ford dealership in Mississauga where he was not only the shuttle driver, but also a great friend to many, running errands, picking up coffee, planting flowers and making his famous focaccia for everyone.
elevated XFBn8 Mario loved cooking, his ford swag, his red mustang and sharing his wisdom with everyone he met.
