Mario just bought me a hamburger, he always cared about people not eating. Mario always managed to make friends everywhere he went weather it was on the bus, the sidewalk, a restaurant, just about anywhere. Mario always had his cheesy smile, which everyone will remember. During his later years he became very independent and didn’t ask anyone for much help. He was religious in his own way but still believed in Jesus as he prayed for help during his illness and for everyone else. He cared for everyone in his own ways, and will be missed very much.
