Balfour Company in North Attleboro before retiring. A man of faith, he attended the former St. Mary Catholic Church, now the Transfiguration of the Lord Parish at St. Mary Church in North Attleboro.
Mario had a deep sense of commitment and pride in our country and for our military and its Veterans. He genuinely enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, especially a bit of gambling and playing the lottery. More than anything, he loved being with is family.
