My sincere condolences to the families grieving the immeasurable loss they suffered. Please accept my condolences!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mario at one of our MGR. meetings and hit it off right away. My fiance and I would go visit family in Laredo and stop by and visit him and his employees. We were just in Laredo in May and we spoke, but this time we ran short on time and did not visit. My loss. Our prayers go out to his family, friends, and co-workers. Of what I knew of him he was a very good boss and worker. God Bless you Mario. It was an honor to know you sir.
My condolences to Mario’s family. I hired Mario at SAS Shoes in 2017 and he was a wonderful man to know.
