Mario Lucio Incollingo Jr. of Warrington, loving husband, proud father and grandfather, and longtime banking executive, passed away peacefully at home on July 9. He was 72.
Mario was born in Philadelphia on August 17, 1938. He was a graduate of Germantown High School and LaSalle University, and served in the U.S. Army. Mario had a distinguished career in the banking industry. He founded the Marconi Financial Corporation/Marconi Consumer Discount Company in 1965. In 1971, he became executive vice president of Glenside Savings and Loan and rose to the rank of president and director. He engineered the 1985 merger of Glenside Savings and Loan with Pennsylvania Savings Bank, where he became executive vice president.
Mario joined IGA Federal Credit Union in 1988 as vice president. Subsequently, he became president, CEO, and director and executed the first credit union conversion to a bank and public stock company. Later, IGA was acquired by First Penn Bank, and Mario assumed the role of COO and director there. He retired from First Penn in 2003 and later returned to the industry as president of Colonial American Bank.
He was active in the community. He was football commissioner of the Lower Southampton Athletic Association and a member of the Feasterville Business Association and the Sons of Italy. He enjoyed the Phillies, Flyers and 76ers but had a special allegiance to the Eagles. A season ticket holder since 1966, he shared many cheers (and many frustrations) over the years with friends and relatives he treated to games. He enjoyed golfing, travel (including to two Eagles Super Bowls), fine restaurants and fine cheesesteaks.
He is preceded by his mother, Assunta, and father, Mario Lucio Sr. He is survived by his wife, Lorraine; three children, Renee Devlin of Upper Holland, Mario of Glenmoore and Dana Wainstein of Avondale; 10 grandchildren, Sarah, Lauren, Adam, Hannah, Owen, Benjamin, Nicholas, Olivia, Daniel and Jacob. A funeral mass will be held Wednesday at 11 A.M. at Nativity of Our Lord, 625 West Street Road, Warminster, PA. Relatives and friends may call at the church from 9 A.M. to 10:45 A.M. Wednesday. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Mario Incollingo’s name to the Abramson Cancer Center, 3535 Market Street, Suite 750, Philadelphia, 19104, or www.penncancer.org.
