Mario Alioto Jr

I have dedicated this page to my father, Mario Frank Alioto Jr, who passed away on Monday, March 27, 2023.  He was a special individual who had such a positive impact on my life, as well as on my siblings.

My dad was the son of Mario Frank "Brother" Alioto and Norma Rita (Tognoli) Alioto. He was born and raised in San Francisco, California.
