I still remember and reflect how on how "cool" he was in the boardroom. He was so confident and professional that you could just watch the Risk Managers, CEO's and CFO's just hang on every word.

However, as good of a broker as he was, his friendship and kindness dwarfs that on a relative scale. He is truly missed and thought of often.

I learned things from Sal...always run when your mother calls and when the bluefish are feeding, look behind you before you cast or you'll hook someone's ear (his ear/my pole), when the boy on the roof with a bucket of tar tosses it down and says "catch"...don't (what a mess!)and don't swim in the ocean in your jeans, they weigh you down...he dragged me out plenty of times.

My best childhood memories are from Riverview Road and Sal is center stage in all of them.

He was a very talented broker who cared about his colleagues and clients.

Six years later memories of many very happy times we had are easily recalled.

Sal was a very special person. Many of us are better people as a result of our relationship with him.
