I only met Sal a few times and each time he was a very friendly and happy man. I feel sad that he passed away and pray he is resting in peace. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Sal was not only a gentleman but he was also so gentle and kind. And I was lucky to have known him.

I'll always remember Sal with a big warm smile on his face and sometimes with a big hug. I used to like to watch Mary Jane and Sal on the dance floor. They made a great couple!

Although I did not know Sal personally, I was in his company at a few of the Knolls events when he was with Mary Jane. I remember him as having a good sense of humor and as being a good dancer. I especially remember how much he cared for Mary Jane.

I knew Sal since the day he moved in. A wonderful wonderful man and a gentleman and a great dancer. He was always happy with a smile on his face. He also had jokes to tell. He could tell them from morning till night. I'm sure you are telling them up there in heaven every day. All my love.

A Tribute to Sal

The last time I spent time with Sal and Mary Jane, I was celebrating Marie's birthday. We had such a wonderful time. Sal was up dancing every dance. He had such energy, it was amazing. His passing is a loss. He will be missed.
