Mario John Fiorentini, 93, of Metuchen, passed away peacefully on November 13, 2019, surrounded by his family.  Born in Perth Amboy, Mario was a resident of Metuchen since 1976 and was formerly of Fords.  He was a Pattern Reader/Moldmaker owning his own business, "Mario's Mold Shop," in Woodbridge, which handled contract work.  He then also went to work for Richmond Radiator in Edison for 20 years. He later went on to work for Zeston, Inc., in Edison where he was employed for 20 years, received pattens for his work, and retired in 1986 as a surpervisor.

Mario served his country proudly during World War II in the Army Air Corps as a B-17 tail gunner.  He was a member of the Clara Barton American Legion Post #324 in Edison and was a Baseball Manager for the Fords Clara Barton Little League.  Mario enjoyed ballroom dancing with Marie, and restoring antique cars, but most of all, he loved spending time with his family.

Mario was predeceased by his wife, Marie Nora Fiorentini (2012), and his siblings: Aldo Fiorentini, Alma Romeo, and Ida Panconi.

He is survived by his daughter, Mona Lisa Fiorentini–Kasha, PhD; his son, Dr. Mario S. Fiorentini (Karen); three grandchildren: Mitchell Fiorentini, Dr. Mario C. Fiorentini (Jenna), Dr's.
