Rest in peace Sal....you were a great sergeant to work for. You will be missed.

Vangie, may our Lord Jesus Christ grant you the comfort and strength to continue your journey until you reunite with my primo Sal.I was blessed to have spent precious moments with you both and I know that Sal has now entered into the gates of Heaven. God be with the rest of the Salazar family.

To my uncle Sal,
You were a great uncle who possessed strong worth ethic. I am so proud of all your accomplishments. I will definitely miss you during the holidays with your great sense of humor and big smile. You were like an older brother to me, who constantly teased and joked around with me. Thanks for all the wonderful memories and laughs. You will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Sal's passing. The Robles family and the Salazar family spent some fun childhood times camping, and fishing. My condolences to his family. God bless you.

I am blessed to have known you.. You will be missed my friend.. Love you Sal
