He is survived by his wife Jeanette; his children Petrina Hart (and Dennis), Antoinette Bauer (and Al) and Salvatore DiSanto and his brother Salvatore.

He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law Thomas and Delores Coppola and their children, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Throughout his life Mario played in numerous bowling leagues and was an avid fisherman and talked often of the fishing boats and farm his family had in Sicily. His free time included constantly working on projects around the house and tinkering with the many old boats and cars he bought and sold.

His family would like to thank the wonderful people at the Ocean Medical Center Hospice Unit for being so caring to Mario and the family.
