Services Set for Mario Ghilotti

A Rosary and Funeral Mass are planned for Mario Ghilotti, the Marin native who died unexpectedly on Nov. 20.

The Rosary is at 6 p.m. Thursday at St. Raphael's Catholic Church at 1104 Fifth Ave., and the Mass is at St. Raphael's at 11 a.m. Friday.

Mr. Ghilotti, 87, was a founder of Ghilotti Bros. Inc., the San Rafael-based construction business that employed 500 workers at its busiest times. The company is responsible for developing much of Fourth Street in downtown San Rafael and the site work on the Marin County Civic Center, according to a family memorial.

Mr. Ghilotti is survived by Eva, his wife of 50 years and his sons, Michael and Dante, as well as his daughters in law and eight grandchildren.

The family asks that donations be sent to his favorite charities, including the Willliam & Dino Ghilotti Memorial Fund at Ghilotti Bros., 525 Jacoby St., San Rafael, 94901.
