Mario was born on November 20, 1942 in Selva Del Montello, Italy. He immigrated to Canada in 1957. Mario worked for many years in the paving industry and then moved into his true love in construction. For many years he was the president of the Selva Del Montello society. He had a zest for life and loved to garden, play golf, texas holdem poker and make his own wine. He lived life to the fullest. He will be greatly missed by his family, dear friends and all the people he touched in his lifetime. The family would like to express their gratitude to the nurses and staff of Evergreen and Coastal Health for their excellent care of Mario during his final days.
