Predeceased by his parents, Annunziata and Antonio Bartolini, brother Frank Bartolini, brother-in-law Don Corsini, sister-in-law Evelyn Schneller and son-in-law Andy Knight. Mario was a true Brightsider all of his life, loyal to his childhood friends and community. Mario was a practising and well-respected lawyer in the city of Hamilton for 46 years, appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1981, and the founding partner of his law firm. He is remembered as an advocate who truly cared for his clients. Mario was known to his wide circle as a kind, thoughtful and loving man, quick with a story or song, and good company.
