Dear Heather. We all trust Mario is now fishing peacefully with a rod and a big fish on.
After your amazing life so many memory's and family inbound from all over the world to shortly make many more.

I would love to see a Landrover conga-line to pay our respects to Mario as discussed. I assume many of us would like to see that for Mario.

You have my number call me for anything any time

Love James

[Tins]

Terribly saddened by this news. Mario was larger than life. He was also a mate. My thoughts are with you, Heather. You know where I am if I can do anything at all.

[Bradtot]

Very Sad news, Mario was a Big part of AULRO and will be missed.
Condolonces to all the Family.
Brad[bawl]

[Grumbles]

Sad news indeed. My condolences to his family.

[spudfan]

So sorry to hear this. It will be the little things that will keep Mario alive within you. You will see the cup he drank out of everyday. You will hear the song he tried to sing along with which probably drove you mad but will now make you smile. The road you and Mario shared together now has to be travelled alone. There will be some lonely stretches ahead and no doubt some bumpy patches too. No words can make such a personal journey as you face any easier but there are people on this community who will be there if you want to talk to someone or indeed have a good yarn, a laugh at things from the past or a share in your tears. I wish you well on your journey without Mario.

[Roverlord off road spares]

Hi guys thank you so much for your kind words which has gone a long way with me. I am a bit more settle today. Tomorrow I will have my son Brendon arriving from Japan, he text me that is was boarding now, so I will see him tomorrow morning he has a 6 hour layover in Kalalupa flying Malaysia airlines. Tomorrow I will be organizing the funeral with my boys. I will put up a post about it, if anyone wants to come. I am just leaving it up to you. It is just an open invitation, as he has made so many wonderful friends here over the years. It is totally up to you guys. Love Heather

[V8Ian]

Heather, I hope you continue to post on the forum. You and Mario were always equally, highly valued and well loved members of this community, I hope we can offer some solace, at this time and ongoing.

[V8Ian]

Mario has been immortalized with the Recommended Suppliers, section of AULRO, now dedicated to his memory. Thank-you Incisor.

[Epic_Dragon]

Absolutely devastated by this news [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] I talk to Mario a lot on Facebook messenger, he was just talking about a local trip to a lake to catch some fishies.
So very very sad, sending you big hugs Heather. Mario was such a beautiful human.
Free of your body struggles now and no more suffering.
I'll miss our chats my dear friend [emoji3590]

[BathurstTom]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Heather. R.I.P. Mario.

[Epic_Dragon]

Came across this and thought of you Mario. All the lives so positively impacted by you [emoji3590]
Hope you are catching the big fishies up there https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220529/b9093a182522092d2fd142cd821dda68.jpg

[cuppabillytea]

Sad to hear this. Sorry for your loss Heather.

[Redback]

Hi Heather, so sad to hear of your loss and I know how hard it is to deal with this loss after losing my soulmate just 18mths ago, one thing I learnt along the way is family and close friends is the key for dealing with this loss and to remember he will always be there in your heart, R.I.P Mario.

Keep your family close and always remember to say I love you.

Baz.

[rar110]

Thank you Heather, I’m glad at least he passed peacefully. Im sure he leaves you with lots of happy memories.

[Gillie]

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this Heather. This was not the news I expected to see having not logged into the forum for over a week. I have only ever dealt with both of you on the phone and Roverlord became my preferred supplier very quickly, I still have parts in the shed I bought from you maybe 4 years ago I am yet to fit! Mario was so knowledgeable in identifying and supplying parts, he was always up for a chat and I'm guilty of that too and I enjoyed the conversations over the years. He was a true gentleman and always had the time to help me out, no job too big or too small or too troublesome. My sincere condolences, very sad news.

[gusthedog]

That's so sad Heaher. He was such a gentleman and will.be sorely missed. Thanks to you both for the amazing service and kindness you have shown to us land rover nuts over the years. We have really appreciated it.

Hope everything goes as well as possible for his service.

King Regards

[DieselDan]

So sorry to hear the news, Heather, been offline for a few days and the last I read was Mario was off for his fishing trip!
I'm glad he got to make it one last time and he passed away peacefully.
My thoughts are with you and your family, you have both been such an integral part of this place, I hope all the well wishes are of some solace.
Dan

[d2dave]

A true gentleman gone way too early

[Tins]

Today there was a lovely service for Mario. I hope folk will remember this giant of a man the way he deserves. His boys, and his lovely wife, sure did.

The Recommended Suppliers area on AULRO has been dedicated to his memory....

is a big loss losing someone like Mario and the community will be much poorer after his passing.

[Tombie]

What a shock to find this thread.

My deepest condolences for your loss Heather.

RIP Mario.

[Roverlord off road spares]

What a shock to find this thread.

My deepest condolences for your loss Heather.

RIP Mario.

Hi Tombie no one expected this even his doctor that saw him about 3/4 weeks ago. He did say to me and not to Mario that one side of his lung was a little bit not working as it should. But he told me that he might only have 4 years left. His doctor was in shock after the paramedic rang the doctor from here
I would take less than the 4 years, but not this so soon. I am a little bit settle at the moment, until something happens, then I am a mess again. I am trying to keep myself busy here. Just like to say a BIG thank you to everyone here that have left so many lovely messages, they do mean a lot to me. Just to see how Mario has made many friends, it met a lot to him as well. I will be fine, it will take time. Love to all Heather

[Rok_Dr]

My condolences and best wishes to you all

The forum won’t be the same without Mario.

Cheers

My condolences Heather.

I've been away from the forum for the past year so hadn't heard.

[Roverlord off road spares]

My condolences Heather.

Hi thank you, it was a total shock to me. To put him in to bed and not to have him in the morning, which I will never forget. But I know he was in a lot of pain with this MSA, it is just unfair that he got this. It will just take time for me, as I have lost my soul mate. I went on a blind date 10th Jan 1986 and 14th Feb 1986 he asked me to marry him. We married 21st Nov 1987. Heather

[VladTepes]

I too just saw this.
Condolences to you and the family Heather, and Rest in Peace Mario.

[hisnhers]

Hi Heather,

Although I never met Mario, it is obvious he has helped many on here and his influence is clear to see. The forums will miss his input, he was well-loved. All the best.

[Epic_Dragon]

Am really missing chats with Mario. Hope you are doing best you can Heather [emoji3590]

Been a while since I checked the New Posts, and realised it had been some time since I saw a post from Mario.

So sorry to hear this Heather. Rest In Peace Mario.

Dear Heather

I am very sorry to learn of Mario’s passing just now. Your eBay store very quickly became my preferred spot to buy anything from and was an extension of his personal good qualities. It was an incredible all around service run by you both. Again I am very sorry for your profound loss and wish you well for the future.

Hi Simon thank you for your kind words. Yes it wasn't just his ebay store it was all our other customers out there, including the guys here. Mario was always there to help people out, not only in his business and his friends.
I am still missing him and my 2 sons are missing him terribly. Heather

Thank you for your heart. It is coming up to one year, in 2 weeks that he left us, 27th May 2022. Heather

[spudfan]

Nothing will ever fill the void left by Mario's passing but somehow the good memories always seem to linger in the mind. Hopefully your mind is full of lingering memories

Yes there has been a lot of funny times, like me sitting with the boat on the side of the road when his ford ran out of gas and the car had to be towed to the next town by a friend that was traveling with us in his car. Or when we went to New Zealand with the kids and he tried to make cup cakes in the micowave and they caught fire in the camper van we hired. So the whole camper van smelt of smoke the next couple of days. I can not complain we did have some very good times. And when he asked me to marry him, only a month after I met him on a blind date. And we married the next year. Heather

[Tins]

Can't tell you it gets easier, Heather. But it does get less hard.

[Roverlord off road spares]

Thanks John, for your words, well today it has been 1 years since Mario left me. I had a call from Brendon that is in Japan, had a nice talk with him. And today Kristopher and his partner Brontie came up and we went out and had lunch together. It made today a bit easier for me to just to talk to them. Heather

[V8Ian]

It didn't pass unnoticed, Heather.
