R.I.P Mario


You Old Timers get the picture?
Right?

And he even had a giant cigar
made out of roses at the funeral.

Mr. Lopez....I lived on Ocean Parkway (bet Beverly/Church) till about 10 years ago when I moved up to Albany. I'm a little younger than you (42), but love reading your site since it brings back wonderful memories....

I have to ask who is Mario?
the only Mario I know - owned Cow Tree on Church Ave and smoked cigars before he turned from owning that little store to driving a small Command bus - shuttling folks back and forth to the city.

Thanks,
