PFC Mario James Capano was born 12 Apr 1924 in Calabria, Italy to Joseph and Michelena (Rizzo) Capano. The family came to New York in November 1929. In 1940 the family was doing well, Joseph was working as a bricklayer as was one son and another son was working as a plumber. Mario was not working yet. The family took in $3800 in 1939, pretty good for the time.
