On February 10, 1979, Onofrio met Marie. Their courtship was a brief one, and they married soon after on May 5, 1979 at Holy Apostles Church. Together, they traveled extensively and visited numerous US Parks. Onofrio and Marie would go on to have a long and loving marriage until his passing. Onofrio was a man of great perseverance and kindness, and he will be dearly missed.
