I didn’t personally know him other than to share a hello and a peace shake on Sundays at Mass. I either sat in front of them or behind them at Mass every Sunday. And many times would see both he & his wife at breakfast in the local restaurant after Mass. May he rest in peace with his beloved wife.
We will miss Uncle Sal but he is happy to be reunited with his beloved wife. We have enjoyed the times that we had together,the memories are cherished. Our thoughts and prayers are with Debbie and Stephen and their families.
So very sad to lose Uncle Sal who is the last one of the siblings of that generation to pass. He was such a kind and gentle person and was always smiling. He is now together again with Aunt Betty. I will cherish the memories I have of the both of them. My thoughts and prayers to Debbie and Stephen and their families.
