Dear HHMVL Members,
It is with deep sadness and very heavy hearts that we share an unexpected update. On Tuesday October 21st Mario Galvao, one of our longtime league referees and a familiar face within the Halton Hills Mixed Volleyball League community tragically passed away.
Mario was a staple of HHMVL for many years and was a valued referee, coach and player throughout the broader volleyball community. His dedication to the game and the time he devoted to our league made him a familiar and important part of our volleyball family. I know I echo your sentiments when I say his presence on the courts will be deeply missed by the many members, players, scorekeepers and fellow referees who had the privilege of knowing him.
On behalf of the HHMVL Executive Board, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Mario's family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts are with them as they navigate this tremendous loss.
For those who wish to attend in person to pay their respects, details regarding Mario's visitation and funeral arrangements can be found at the link below:

Mario will be fondly remembered by our league, and his contributions to the volleyball community will not be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Mario. You will be greatly missed.
