Mario and I were friends for over 20 years and originally met on Fishers Island. We both shared a love of golf and tennis and had so many great matches and loads of fun over those two decades.  
I sometimes got the better of him in golf but was never able to beat him on the tennis court. His tennis game was superb. 
We spent many nights in the old Fishers Island tennis shack sharing a beverage or two and rehashing our matches. 
Mario loved Fishers Island and all the member's at the club there who he stayed in contact with long after he retired as their tennis professional.  The island and the membership meant the world to him.  
RIP my dear friend, you will be missed.                  Chip Brown

The Symons Family wishes to express our deepest sympathies and condolences.

Mario was our friend and neighbor for over 37 years. We often helped Mario with challenges he might have with his home. Mario would often rely on our son to help him with his electronics devices like Reprogramming the television.

Mario was very kind and generous. We knew Mario would do anything he could to help us if we
Asked. 

Life on Sheridan Lane will never be the same without Mario there at the top of the hill.

Rest peacefully our old friend

We will all miss you and think of you often

If the Obando family needs anything we stand ready to help in any way we can

Please don’t hesitate to call us

Love to All


Chris Symons
