Dear family, I send my condolences to you on the loss of your love one, it is amazing that Salvatore lived such a long life, not many of us will have that opportunity, just think of the changes he must of seen, during his life time. May the God of all comfort be with you at this time of sorrow. Psalms 90:10

I was one of the legion of football players/pre-med students that Dr. Sal took an interest in, and encouraged pursuit of a career in medicine. He and Dr. Bart Quigley held court in the medical room, and always had interested listeners. I have a particular fondness for Dr. Mangano because he gave me some of his medical textbooks to use when I went to medical school. They were all outdated by that time, but that was not the point. In fact, after I retired as a surgeon, I spent about 8 years teaching high school sciences, including Physics and Anatomy. I utilized the book Diseases of the Skin, which has some of the most horrendous lithographs of victims of contagious diseases, such as syphilis, leprosy, et.al. in the vain hope that my students might think before proceeding. No such luck. For Dr. Mangano I have great respect and thanks.

So sorry to hear the news of Dr Mangano's passing. He treated all of us at Harvard as if we were his own children.

A wonderful man, a wonderful supporter of the young men on the teams that he followed and a great example of how we all should aspire to live our lives.
