He is preceded in death by his parents Mario and Carmella Cicotti. Mario was born on May 24,1938 in Providence, Rhode Island, and at an early age, he moved to California where he graduated from Hollywood High School. Mario honorably served his country in the United States Air Force. Over his lifetime Mario owned many successful businesses, with his final venture being Carsue Distribution, a prominent partner of Florida Hospital. During these years, Louie Sassone and Gary Buchanan were by his side every step of the way in business and as his dearest friends. Mario was a proud Italian man, full of life, laughter, and charm. He was truly larger than life, making friends wherever he went and was always the life of the party. He loved food and enjoyed cooking for others while listening to Italian classics or a Beethoven sonata and drinking a good glass of red wine. Whether you knew him well or were a perfect stranger, Mario was the most mischievous, carefree, and playful character that you ever met. A firm believer in the underdog, his kindness and generosity uplifted and changed many lives for the better. Mario will be missed more than any words can express. We will carry his memory in our hearts. A Celebration of Life is being planned for a future date.
