Mario Perillo's family requests that donations be made to the City of Glen Cove for improvements to the ball fields where he loved to be. City Stadium was his home away from home. Mario spent his childhood and his adult life playing the game he loved the most. He told his family that cancer may have taken him away from baseball but it couldn't take baseball out of him. He will miss the smell of the grass, sliding into the bases, the crack of the bat and of course hearing the words "play ball." When the improvements are complete, a plaque honoring his memory will be placed for all to remember him at the place he loved to be. Checks can be made out to City of Glen Cove and mailed to City Hall, c/o Mayor's Office3, 9 Glen St., Glen Cove, NY 11542. Write Mario Perillo's name in the bottom left memo portion of the check.
