I was so sorry to hear of Mondo's passing. He was truly a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather and friend. I always enjoyed our chats. My nephew, Chris, was very blessed to have had such a wonderful father in law. He will truly be missed by all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with his wonderful family. God Bless.
