Mario was a deeply spiritual, family oriented person. His love And devotion to Gloria was an inspiration. He worked tirelessly with Torrie whom he loved and cared for. His devotion to his family was something that was deeply admired and respected by me. He is one of the few people I ever met who had a deep understanding and love of Judaism. He donated a safardic Torah to his temple and knew the weekly portions. He lived his live by these principles. He had an incredible understanding of the political events of the last 7 years and I sought his opinion often. He was a learned person. I will miss him dearly. Paul Greenberg, M.D.
