Condolences to all whom knew him

I am sending my sincere condolences to you and your family at this time. Mario was always a gentleman, loved Wardair and his experiences he had at Wardair!! I hope your many wonderful memories will warm your heart and make you smile in time. Love never dies only grows forever❤️

This news is hard to accept, and is a time our beliefs are challenged. Mario was a very interesting man, both a boss and a friend to many. A difficult combination, but he managed to be there for many of those who worked for and more importantly with him. I have been in the aviation industry for more than 50 years and he was by far the most fun man I have ever worked with. He made it fun to come to work and the industry has lost a star. My very deepest condolences to the family but take heart in the fact he will be missed across this land and remembered as a friend.

What a lovely man. I have such fond memories of our fun Wardair days.. We were all so young and carefree. A terrific, trusted aircraft mechanic.
Definitely one of the good ones!
Rest well, Mario.

My condolences to the Sturino family. Mario was a legend in the aviation industry and I learned so much from him. Outside of work, he was a wonderful person to know and I will always remember him with fondness.

Condolences to all impacted by this loss. Mario will be missed by many.

My Heartfelt Condolences To The Sturino Family And All That Know Him.
It Was With Great Sadness That I Learned of
Mario’s Passing. I Have Wonderful Memories
Working With Mario As A Boss At Wright International, But Most Of All He Was A Close Friend That Had Always Time To Chat And Share Experiences.
He Will Be Sorely Missed. RIP Mario.

Mario and I worked together from 1981 to 1986 in Toronto with Wardair before I was transferred to Vancouver
He was a wonderful guy to work with and he had a very good sense of humour. My condolences to the family, he will be missed.

This is sad news indeed, we send our condolences to Joanne , and all the Sturino family, and those closest to him ,our

My deepest condolences for your loss. Mario will be sincerely missed by all that knew him.
I have known Mario 49 years, 30 of those as his business partner.
Mario always had a dream of one day having his own aircraft maintenance business.
In 1991 we threw caution to the wind left the airlines and Wright International was born and we never looked back.
It took a lot of hard work and long hours to make the company the success that it became.
Mario my friend, it’s been a long road and a lot of years. It’s been an honor knowing you.
Rest In Peace until we meet again on the other side

My condolences to the family.

I learned a great deal from Mario. It was a pleasure
to work with him. We will miss his warmth and smile. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

I feel honored that I had the opportunity to get to know and work for your father. He was a bright light in this world, and his absence will be felt by many.

On behalf of the Thomas family, we send our condolences to Joanne, Sabrina, Andrea and family.

Our deepest condolences to Joanne Andrea , Sabrina and families.
We have so many great memories of Mario from Wardair to traveling around the world. Mario was always a shining light to so many of us and a lot of fun to be around, You will be missed my friend. You will be in our memories forever.

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of an absolutely lovely man. Such a kind, gentle and generous man. May God keep his soul at peace. Hopefully, Michel was there to greet him and have one of their infamous conversations.

So sad to hear. Worked with him at Wardair. When Wardair was sold I was surprised when he started Wright International and must say did not have his vision of this need
But a success it was and I believe Max Ward congratulated him on his success. He will be remembered

Our sincere condolences to Joanne, Sabrina Andrea and family, it was sad to hear of Mario’s passing. We all will have memories of Mario to remember him by. Our thoughts and prayers to all the family.

Our heartfelt condolences to his family. Beppe is heartbroken . Mario was an amazing, generous person.

Elaine Gousse and I were so sad to hear of Mario’s passing. We live in the same building in Florida . Mario and I would talk at the Bellano pool from time to time. He was a funny, sincere man who loved to communicate with any of us especially about his family or business. We will miss him dearly.

Rest In peace Mario

I met Mario on his first game of golf at Caledon Woods – told him my friend and I aren’t very good but he was welcome to join – he did and played like us – we always joked of the dots we carried to help keep us in the game
Mario – a very kind and funny gent and always a gentleman- he will be greatly missed – my deepest condolences to his family and all of his friends- and that is many – he will be greatly missed Tracey Murray

Very sad day, my condolences to the family. I have known Mario for over 30 years. Amazing person to work with.

Mario is a legend at YYZ and will always be! He ventured into unknown pastures when he launched Wright International with his other partners.
He always took care of his employees and was an excellent manager!
He respected the regulations and always welcomed TC into his facility with no objections be it a scheduled visit or unplanned!
I have worked for Mario at Wardair then Wright International and was once his Transport Canada Principal Inspector.
Thank you Sir for all that you’ve taught me through the years.
To your family, my deepest condolences.
RIP my friend until we meet again!

Our most sincere condolences to Joanne and the entire Sturino family.
We first met Mario at the Caledon Woods Golf Club and became friends ever since. Mario had such a passion for the game of golf. Always a true gentleman and dedicated family man. You will be forever in our hearts Mario.
Rest in Peace.
Donna & Brad Vaughan

I have worked beside Mario for over 20 years. He was my boss, mentor and friend. I learned so much about business and aviation from Mario. He will be deeply missed. He has left behind
So many memories with his Wright International family. We will never forget.

Mario was indeed a good and kindly man. Whenever I hear Frank Sinatra singing about doing it his way I think of Mario.

Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of Mario. There are no words to lessen the sorrow or pain that you are all going through. May the many wonderful memories bring you comfort and may the Lord be with you during this incredibly difficult time. Sending our love, prayers and strength to you and the entire Sturino family.

I feel blessed to have worked with Mario for close to 10 years at Wardair.

Mario exemplified the true spirit of the entrepreneur with unwavering commitment to building his business for the betterment of his family, his employees and his Friends.

He was a role model who showcased a work ethic that inspired many who worked with him.

Rest in Peace

Pat Neville

Mario, you saw the potential in so many of your staff over the years, and were willing to give them a chance when others did not. Thanks for the opportunity (on more than one occasion) to be able to prove you made the right decision.
You were an icon in the Canadian aviation business and won’t be soon forgotten. Rest in Peace Mario.

Mario gave me my start in aviation and I will always be grateful for that. My deepest sympathies to the family during this difficult time.
R.I.P Mario.

A True gentleman, A giant in his industry, A wonderful man – My condolences to his family . He will be missed by so many

My condolences to the Sturino family and all that knew him.
It was a great pleasure working with Mario and all the staff at Wright International over the years.
Mario will be sorely missed

Condolences to the Sturino Family from me and my family.
May you find strength during this difficult phase in shared memories of time well spent with him.
Mario affectionately known as “Papa Mario” to many of us was a Titan in our Aviation Community.
He contributed to helping many people and AMEs during his tenure.
He gave AMEs an opportunity to develop, thrive and many of them went on to be leaders in our industry.
His ability to recognize the potential in everyone he hired and interacted with was amazing.
Rest In Peace Papa Mario, you are loved and will be missed.

So sad. We were Canadian neighbours in Florida on Bellano. I always enjoyed a game of golf and chatting with him. Our condolences to his entire family. RIP

My deepest condolences for the loss of a gentleman. I met Mario as a fellow golfer, and always enjoyed his smile, and generous nature. A difficult time for the family, to be sure, and a loss felt among many.

He was a great man

I am so sad to learn of Mario’s passing. I worked at Caledon Woods and shared many laughs with Mario and the boys. He was a kind, caring, generous man. Sending heartfelt condolences to the Sturino family.

Sorry to hear off the loss of the Sturino family. A gentle man, and one that made Wardair number one Airline. R.I.P. MARIO.
