Great Service for a Great Man .
Id like to share some moments that helped to make Mario the kind person that will always be remembered to me .
Im not one for soppy stuff and have really struggled to do this , But if anyone deserves it , Mario sure does and i will fight back the tears to do so .
Any one that had the pleasure to cross paths with Mario Personally or on line will surely be touched by his kindness .
With Mario you were not a customer you were a friend for life .
He surely was a gentle kind soul giant of a man . And completely selfless to say the least
I first dealt with Roverlords i think in 2009 there abouts on ebay , Think i purchased hoses for Tdi .
Funny thing happened after placing the order my phone rang with Mario on the other end asking if it was Defender or Disco .
.
I had and to this day never had any ebay seller call me re a order . .
Little did i know how this would pan out over the years . Following on from this i acquired his ph number and he was more than happy with in reason anytime to be called upon for parts .
And of course as all Landy owners know we all need parts at any hour of the day .
Many a time i had sent my partner to Marios at some weird times of weekends or days and nights ect to collect the most needed part , This ensured a friendship between Mario , Heather and Sandi .
One time approx 2012 and i remember this clearly i was heading off to Big River for a weekend and the mighty Td5 D2 did a coolant hose just south of Cockatoo [Vic] dead on the side of the road . A quick call to Mars and in his car with a full set of hoses he came racing over to the rescue .
That did not pan out well as we could not get the fan off to replace the bottom hose , No wuckers Mars hops back in his car races home gets his fan spanner and returns .
We got it sorted Mars says pay for the hoses when you get back from your holiday cheers mate [thumbsupbig]
Many a time id get some parts and he would say just pay me latter on don't stress .
There have many a funny moment with Mars and Sad of course .
I won't bore you people with too much just a couple of memorable moments that made a great man Greater to me .
I have had the pleasure of meeting Mario Heather and the boys on numerous occasions . And those memories will stay with for ever .
With deep feelings a part of my soul is missing from the emptiness left , But the memories live on forever .
Heather
Sandi and i are here for you and im sure many others are aswell.

I have added my thanks to the previous post by Chris. I would have liked to do about 10 thanks but the forum only allows one.
I have never met Mario personally, but have had parts dealings with him.
I would have loved to attend the celebration of his life, but due to my geographical location and work commitments, this was not possible.
Rest in peace mate.
