Nicole, Gianna, Joey, The Mastroianni’s and everyone who cared and loved Marcello. The Riccio’s are very sorry about Marcello and the sadness you are and will experience because of his passing. Marcello was just a great person and someone who brought a smile to all of our faces. Growing up with the Mastroianni’s in New Haven was and is one of the best experiences in my life. Thank you for letting me be part of your family. I will always remember the many meals and conversations I had at the dinner table with Marcello, John, Mr. and Mrs. Mastroianni and their cousins. For some reason Marcello usually got the better of John and myself typically by laughing at our comments or our debates. I will miss Marcello and the person he is. Love Andy…
Marcello, you benched pressed over 400 pounds! I could only do 350! You have a 70″ flatscreen mine was only 48″. Every time I spoke to you I would think I was so blessed to have a brother so positive and with such wisdom ! I always admired you for always taking a stand in what you believed and always trying to say something nice about someone.
You were so proud of being married to Nicole and having Gianna and Joey. The love you so much as do I. Thank you for taking care of Mom and never having to talk about it. Part of me has gone with you. Love your brother Johnny
Words cannot describe how heartbroken we are to have lost a friend like Marcello… his infectious smile and omnipresent good nature will never be replaced but to have known and loved him makes us all better people…
There are no words that can express this tragic loss!! Marcello, you will be so so missed each and everyday of our lives… Your departure was much to soon!! Your death has reunited us all in a way that is unspeakable. You need not worry my brother, your Nikki, your Gianna, your Joesph and most of all your mother! they will be watched over!!! You will forever be in my heart, missed and never forgotten!! Until we meet again… May your soul rest in peace!! Love you forever, Palma xoxoxoxo!!
Our hearts will be forever broken. Thank you for being the best friend my husband ever had and thank you for being Zach’s godfather. There is noone who can ever replace you. We will miss you forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Marcello brought a smile to my face every time that I would see him.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Marcello’s passing. I knew Marcello from Notre Dame. He was a guy who lit up a room, always had a smile and something funny to say. Over the years whenever I ran into him he always made me laugh. What a truly great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with the Mastroianni Family, what a tremendous loss for all who knew Marcello. God Bless all of you.

Marcello was one of a kind. He was a great friend. I met him 19 years ago and I did not stop laughing until last week. He was always there when I needed to talk or bounce ideas off. I was always laughing when we finished talking. He never let anything get him down. Nicole, he loved you and your children more than anything. I miss you terribly my friend. Rest well brother.
Dear Nicole, Gianna, Joey, Mr.and Mrs.Mastroianni, John and Anna,
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Marcello’s passing. During this past week, I have shared many wonderful memories about
The Mastroianni Family and growing up in Westville with my children. Our sympathy, thoughts and love are with you all.
We ask for God’s blessings on you and your wonderful family.

Marchello and I began our UPS careers in managment about the same time, we were both young and full of hope that we would find success in our careers. Over the many years and many different assignments there were many conversations. Mostly we talked about the challenges in our jobs and changes in our company. I’ll miss our talks, however infrequent they were, they were always positive and we always parted laughing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and children. A terrible loss for us all!
