Mario Perito lived up the street from us, on Miami Ave. He used to fix my father’s car, as well other’s. He painted one of our cars once, a bright YELLOW, at my request. You could see that car coming a mile away. I LOVED it. Thank You, Mario, for making ,a then, 16 year old girl happy.
Your family is in my prayers. May you rest in peace.
