To the Family of Dick Salemme,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I haven't seen Dick for a long time. I do remember a few trips to Marsfield and water skiing on the coldest water in America - I don't know how they did it. My mother (Helen Maloney (Caterino))and Dick's dad were cousins, and I sent through school with the whole family. Once again, my condolences.

Mr. Salemme,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USAF. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
