In loving memory of Mario, born on December 5, 1934, and who departed this world on November 7, 2023, having left an indelible mark through the cherished moments spent with grandchildren, family, and his beloved wife Carol of 50 years. Born in Brooklyn, NY and a son of Italian immigrant parents, Emma Gianfrancesco and Pietro DiCerbo, Mario carried with him the rich tapestry of his heritage, embodying the values of hard work, resilience, and a deep appreciation for family bonds. His roots provided the foundation for a life devoted to love, both in his personal relationships and in his commitment to serving his country as an Army Veteran, beginning his service on August 11, 1955. Residing in Palm Coast, Florida since 2000, after 30 years on Long Island, Mario continued to cultivate a haven of warmth and love for his family. His career, spanning over 40 years with the US Customs Service, reflected his dedication and service to the country. During his working years he also proudly served as a President of the Columbia Association for US Customs employees, leaving an enduring impact on the community he served and fostering camaraderie among his colleagues. Balancing the demands of a distinguished career with his love for fishing, reading, and movies, Mario exemplified a life well-lived. In the echoes of his laughter and the bonds forged through time spent together, his legacy lives on, a testament to the enduring power of family and the impact one can make through years of dedicated service to others. Mario is survived by his devoted wife Carol and leaves behind a legacy carried on by his two sons, Mario and Robert. His love and guidance continue to resonate in the hearts of his three grandchildren, James, Emma, and Angela, who were a source of immense joy and pride. He also leaves behind one sister, Ann Callipari, and many nieces and nephews. Mario is predeceased by his two brothers, Peter and Costy.
