To my dear brother Salvatore, I will miss you dearly, you were a fun loving, give your shirt of your back kind of guy that would help anyone, you lived your life the way you wanted, carefree and live for the moment. You and your partner of 38 years Mary Delaney were in love with each other and supported each other all the way. You will be in peace in heaven next to mom and dad.
Rest in Peace
Your brother,
Jim

Dear Sal, I just wanted you to know that you were my dearest brother-in-law, and only a heart as dear as yours would give so unselfishly the many things you’ve done through out your life!
Your actions were always kind with a generous hand, always anxious to please everybody with your unique style.
Thank you for being a wonderful loving uncle to my children, they are truly going to miss you.
I will always remember all the great times we had together and you will be missed beyond measure!
You left us too soon but The Lord looked around His garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your pain, He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest next to your parents and beloved son, with the help of His angels, and then they flew you to your heavenly place!
Rest In Peace my dear Sal you will always be in our hearts!
Your sister-in-law
Marta

My sister and I were so sad to hear of our cousin Sal suddenly passing away.
We have such wonderful memories of our growing up with all of you.
We will miss you and love you Sal very much.
Always in our prayers.

Uncle Sal,

If you’re looking down right now, I hope you know that I will never forget all the great memories I had with you. I remember riding your lawnmower, going fishing on your boat, and riding in your truck as a little boy. I’ll miss flying your model helicopters and drones with you. I’ll never forget all the crazy things you use to do; it was never a dull moment with you, that’s for sure. Lindsey and I are eternally grateful for all your generosity over the years especially helping fix things in our new house. I’m glad you had the opportunity to meet your great nephew Lucas before you passed. He loves the changing table you made for him. Lindsey and I will make sure Lucas knows how much you meant to us and how great of an uncle you were to me. Hope you are resting in peace now.

Love,
James, Lindsey, and Little Lucas

We will all miss Sal! We will miss his big personality, infectious laugh and his big heart! Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May Sal now have the peace he hungered for while on this earth. With all our love Vince, Wanda and the rest of the Santoro family.

Sal you will be greatly missed. You were special to me. Love you and see you in heaven. Uncle Marco

Sal,

You were such an extremely fun loving and generous person. I am so happy we were able to see each other over the past years. I can still see your smile at the beginning of each visit. To me you will always be the guy that was always happy with that big smile. You made everyone around you smile too! Rest In Peace! With Love, Cousin Joe

My brother Sal and I were always very close. From when we were little and he constantly picked on me to the point that my brother Jim used to have to get involved and then they would end up fighting (and I would sit back and laugh), to when he used to run my dates around the football track just for being at the football game with me, to all the weekends we spent at his and Mary’s house going out on the boat, eating the food he would make on the grill, all the way up until the plans we made for him to come and see Anthony and I just a few short days before he passed! It is very hard for me to imagine life without my big brother. Right before he passed during a telephone conversation, he said to me: “Marie you have to stop worrying about me – if I die, I’ll just see you in heaven.” He had a deep belief in God and hoped God would forgive him for his trespasses, he loved, Mary and his family beyond belief. He was always so generous and compassionate with anyone he met, including strangers. He was truly the best brother I could have ever have had and I will miss him until I meet him again in heaven, just like he said. Sal please rest in peace with Marc, our grandparents, mom and dad, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends until I see you again. I love you always, your loving sister Marie

Sending my Love, thoughts and prayers to family on the loss of Sal. He will always be remembered for his love of life and big kind heart . Sal you will truly be missed.
With Love,
Susan and Todd Reffitt

John. Uncle Johnny. You had so much love, a spark for life and a wild streak that made the time we spent together never a dull. It’s hard to believe that you are gone so soon. My children love you so much. They always looked forward to spending time with you. I will keep our memories with me and take care of your love. Rest In Peace. Love you, Veronica

Uncle Sal. I remember the first time I met you when you came to visit James at FSU. He told you that I was his girlfriend, even though we weren’t actually official yet. I thought it was cute and was excited to meet my first member of James family. From the moment I met you, I knew James came from a nice family. Your smile and high energy were infectious and the love you had for James was obvious. My memories of us on the boat are some of my best memories that I have with James. We always had such a great time and it was always a wild ride. I remember the first time you took us to peanut island to go snorkeling. I thought you were so cool. We ate lunch at the Sailfish Marina and you bought me a white bracelet from the gift shop. I remember you pulling out a wad of cash like it was no big deal. You always made me laugh with your crazy stories. When I think about you now, I am sad that you are gone, but I always end up smiling because I know you are smiling down on us and playing tricks up there. I will think of you Everytime I open the beautiful jewelery box that you helped James make for me and I appreciate everything that you ever made for us or helped us with. I will make sure Lucas knows who his Great Uncle Sal was and what an amazing person you were to everyone you met. We love you Sal, say hi to Lefty for us.
