Sal, you'll forever be in my heart ❤

It was with a jolt that I learned today that Mark passed away a few years ago. He was always a warm individual with a great smile and a quiet sense of humor when I knew him in school.
While a hole in your heart can never be truly filled after the passing of a loved one, I hope that you are comforted in knowing that he left an impression on everyone he met.

What a shock and terrible sadness. I went all through school with Mark aka "Sal" and had a warm friendship. I will remember Mark with great fondness. My sincere sympathy to all.

We are still in shock at your untimely passing,Sal. We only met two times but we loved you and Kathy immediately. Your big smile and warm personality will never be forgotten. Nor will I ever forget you telling me "we LOVE your son!" more than once. I always laugh at the memory of you and Jack "thumb wrestling" at the restaurant to see who would pick up the tab! that was hilarious! Rest in peace Sal. You are missed today and always will be.

Sal was the kinda guy that was always there for advice and a good laugh. He was my manager for years at Ron's and then at Brickside. I remember the day when I walked back into Ron's last year and Sal was at the register and was the same guy I have always known big smile and always had time to catch up with a friend.
Sal you will be missed

Wow I'm very speechless. I've lost a few close friends this past year but none of them have hit home like losing sal he was a great friend!! The first time I met sal wen I started at Brickside he shook my hand and looked at me eye to eye like he was checking me out to see if I was ok. Lol well I left Brickside for a year n a half n wen I came back I walk in to the office and said mr sal he jumps up excited n hugs me and glad to have u back that really showed me wat type a man he was . If I was in a bad mood sal knew how to get me outta my funk. We shared many tearful laughs together. Sal I will miss you always you were the best. My heart n prayers go out to your family. As sal always said went I saw him HOW YOU DOIN!!!

I got many hugs from Sal, and saying that he meant them with all of his heart is an understatement. They came from his very being. He was one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met.
I'm sorry to say that we lost touch a few years ago, but I'm glad to know that he was a part of my life for many before that. Thank you my friend.
Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much he meant to you, and how much you meant to him. Lisa and I send our love and prayers to you.

Sal. I still can't believe it. You were an incredible man. The love that you had for Kathy, Tiffany, Stephanie, Mom mom, and Pop-pop was immense. When we met a few years ago, you welcomed me and made me feel as though I was one of your own. I will always be humbled by what an amazing person you were, and will forever cherish the memories I have of you.

I am speechless at the loss of dear Sal. I will never forget your smile, you always were so sweet. I was just thinking about you the other day when something came up about a place that we all went to in the late 80's and now you are gone. Far too soon, I will miss seeing you at Ron's with your great smile!
Kathy so sorry for your loss my thoughts are with you and your family

I known Sal for a long time. When I was looking for a job, he hired me at Brickside. He was a great guy to work with, always a fun time. I am lucky to call him my friend. Sal, love you! You will be missed.
Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for the whole family. He was a great man and I am sure you have some wonderful memories.

Sal was always my "cheerleader" when I worked with him at Ron's. whenever something good happened in my life, big or small, he was always interested to hear what was going on and was always genuinely happy for me. His smile was infectious and his love of life was always shining through it. Kathy, Sal's love for you was so great and he talked about you constantly with so much adoration. You are on my mind and have my deepest sympathies, along with the rest of your family. Love you, Sal. You are deeply missed.

To Sal's Wife, Family, and Friends,
I knew Sal while going through Jr. and Sr. High School and ran in to him a few times over the years before he moved to Coastesville.
I will always remember his great smile, sense of humor, and just the great person that he was. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss and he and all his family will be remembered in my prayers.

i met Sal at the Brickside Grille in 2001 and worked with him for only one year. In that year Sal and I became like brothers. Sal always made me smile just by looking at him. His smile and laugh were contagious. He was always the one to make me forget about any problems in my world. I will miss you very much Sal!
Kathleen - We are very sorry for your loss. Sal was a great man and he loved you very much. Words can't express my sympathy. - Nick and Jenn

I have not spoke to Mark in a very long time. The thing I remember about Sal, was he was guininely interested in who he was talking to. He would look you in the eye and smile. I want to be more like Mark, when you walked away from a conversation with him, you ALWAYS felt better. He was a life enhancer.

Sal, it just doesn't seem real. The "Rons" family misses you so much. And as for my family, words can't even express how sad we are and how much we love you. You were my first little girl crush and I will never ever forget you. I love you. Val

Sal,
You got me the job at Ron's I joyfully held for almost 5 years. You helped make the dinner after my mothers funeral at the Brickside a memorable evening. The parties at your house during the summer were always fun. You helped my sister get the job at Ron's as well. You have a smile I will never forget. My prayers and love goes out to your family. You will be greatly missed.

Working with Sal was always a joy. You could see the passion and pride he had for his work come through everyday in how he carried himself. I'll miss how he used to say my name when we would start our shift every Sunday. Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. He wil be dearly missed as a member of the Ron's family.

There are no words to describe how heartbroken we are that you left us so quickly. I never could thank you enough for giving my mom the best years of her life & loving Steph & I like we were your own. You will be missed every day until we meet again. Love you, Sal.

Sal, you will be truly missed. You were a great co-worker, boss, and an even better friend. I have been in touch with many of our old "Ron's" friends since hearing the news and remembering all great and funny times we had. You were one of a kind. I will miss that smile and the twinkle in your eye when I would get to see you randomly and share an old story while cathing up.
Kathy and Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. Please know that Sal had such a great influence on so many of us that worked with him and were lucky enough to call him Friend. He will always be remembered as a great and kind man.

Sal, I haven't seen you in 35 years but I remember you like yesterday. I had hoped I'd see you at one of the get togethers Albert had, my loss. You were always a good guy and I see you just improved with age. You left far too early.

Sal, my "son" where do I begin. Maybe the first day I met you and made you those 2 fried eggs never knowing that I was cooking for the greatest "chef" and the nice compliment you gave me, You don't know how much you meant to me and Daddy. I will miss you and "ALL' that you stood for . I am so glad you were part of our family. R.I.P. my Sal. Love "MOM"
