So very sad to hear about your sudden departure, Sal. I know how much you meant to your dear sister Angela, and your family and friends, and animals.....and I know through Angela what a wonderful person and special brother you were. And as such your spirit will live on. sleep softly, Elina

I am glad that Sal is one of the people I have met on my journey through life. As i little boy, Sal sometimes stayed with my family; my parents, myself and my three sisters, one of whom was only four days younger than him. He was so full of energy. I remember his shenanigans, but also his gurgling laughter. He laughed often and charmed us all. But just as often, he would just take it easy; sit on my mother´s lap, hold somebody´s hand, or listen to the stories we read to him. We were all happy, to spoil this cute little boy, with all the love and attention which he wanted and was worth. My family eventually moved far away from the city where Sal lived with his mother and sister, also far away from where his father lived. When Sal and I met again as adults, I saw that, whatever life had brought with it, the charming and talented boy was still there – but now within a gentle, vise grown man. The adult Sal had a warm charisma that would go straight trough anything, he had true star quality. I believe that Sal was always searching for genuine people, those who could complement his own warm character and heart. Some time ago I had to visit the hospital in an emergency. I waited for the doctor, and I felt fear. Just as I was about to turn off my cell phone, Sal called. I told him where I was, and why. His call and what he said at that moment, meant more to me than he probably understood himself. –"Don´t be afraid. God is with you, and I will pray for you". I started crying out of gratitude that he came up with these words in the exactly right moment. He had been responsive, he understood and he gave me strength. Those words will always remind in my mind, as a consolation, whatever I encounter. My childhood´s dear little Sal. Dear grownup beautiful Salvatore. I am grateful that I got to be one of those who came into your life – and I got to see your true colors. With Love and Respect Mona-Liza

I remember the night you where born. I had already arrived at the Memorial hospital in Morristown in the evening, and the labor pain had begun around 11 pm. After two hours of very hard work, a big sweet boy entered the world screaming like other newborns. You weighed 10 pounds, eight ounces! A big beautiful baby boy.The doctors and nurses said, "He has such big shoulders"! Since your middle name was George (named after my father), the nurses came in to my room in the morning with a breakfast tray. There was a flag on the tray as the day you where born it was George Washington day.( 22 Feb). You looked like me, blond and blue eyes. Your sister Angela had so eagerly waited for you. Finally a little sibling had arrived! The fifth and last day at the hospital the doctors adviced me to feed you apple cereal with a spoon. It was very unusual. The doctors said that it was not enough breakfast for you to only be breastfed. You where a big baby and needed lots of food. Always screaming for more cereal. It turned out the doctors where right. As soon as you got your cereal you slept all night through and every night. You were such a good baby. Always smiling up at us when laying there in your crib. You where a very fast crawler and very strong even as baby. I remember how you started walking very early and your sister would help you up when you fell down. You where a wonderful child and grew up to be a wonderful, good hearted man. My dear son, I love you very much. I miss you so. All my love, Mom.

My darling brother, I miss you so very much. My heart is broken. Memories of you and me as children flashing through my mind. I smile at the many wonderful things we have shared and experienced together over the years. It has truly been an honor to be your sister in this lifetime. You had such beautiful qualities. Warm hearted, generous, fun and kind." A heart of gold." Your heart was pure and sincere, always wishing the best for everyone, showing empathy and care. You were so thankful for all the good things and people you had in your life. How you used to "crack me up" with your hilarious stories and jokes. You were so much fun :) I would always find you in the kitchen where you where busy creating exiting and tasty dishes. This was truly your passion in life. Cooking! You where a natural! You watched Chef Gordon Ramsey's daily cooking show, for new inspiring recipes and then serve me up wonderful meals :). Thank you dear brother for all those wonderful dinners and laughs we shared. Ironically, our last conversation was about, " how to make the perfect tomato sauce"... While living with me in Santa Monica, I would wake up in the mornings to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the breakfast was always ready. You always woke up early and prepared this for us. We would go upstairs to my roof top terrace and sit in the sun and enjoy. It was a wonderful time we got to spend with each other there...:) Your love for animals was so great. Always feeding the neighbors cat and walking friends dogs. You told me how much you looked forward to your recovery as you would finally be able to get the dog you had dreamt of getting for so long. We had so many interesting and deep conversations on many topics. About God, inner peace, health and wellbeing. You always strived to improve. It was really admirable. We gave each other tips of great new books to read on the various topics. Your faith and positive thinking gave you strength and courage to carry on forward. You were so strong until the end, a real fighter... I hope you always knew, that no matter what I would always be by your side. It is lonely without you.. It was always "you and me". I love you and always will. You will always be in my heart. Rest in peace my beautiful brother....
