Our condolences to Mrs. Marino and all Family members who are grieving. However, I hope and pray that you can think of this as a celebration of a great man who touch many lives for so many years. In my mind, I can still see the old barber shop with all it's character and the smile on his face when I wanted a "buzz cut" while everyone else wanted some sort of "70's modern look". It was a pleasure and an honor to know Sal and for him to be part of my life growing up. Rest in peace Sal and know that you have touched more lives than you know. You are truly a great man and I will remember you forever.

"Sal's barber shop" was the place to be simular to today's CHEER'S episode. Everytime was a new experience from Oscer walking in through the side door while in the barber chair, to trying to figure out what was next to happen, to the latest news, and our dad being the mail man. Sal not only lowered our ears as this all went on but also always encouraged us with what dreams we spoke of. Once attending M.A.T.C at the Oak Creek location hearing his sons were there I knew I had made a good choice of education. I will truefully miss Sal he has always been a very positive influence in my life. We have all been blessed having him as a part of our life.

Sal, you will be missed.
You have touched many lives
throughout your days here on earth.
For me, I remember you for the kind
look in your eyes, the loving smile upon
your face & the kind words you always spoke to me.
From the time I was a young boy till my days as a young
man these traits of yours have always remained true & to this
day bring me fond memories of you.

Our condolences to the Marino Family. It was an honor to know Sal as he taught me what it means to have your own business AND to help out your fellow man with acts of service such as giving hair cuts. Dad took us 4 boys to the barber shop on tuesday nights while "happy days" was on to help us watch the black and white TV while getting our ears lowered. I always admired Dad and Sal's friendship. God Bless Sal in heaven and please guide all loved ones through their loss.

A man with a big heart who never spoke an angry word, a man who never judged, a man who encouraged never discouraged, a man who provided positive support and guidance, a man of integrity, a man devoted to his wife and children. RIP I love you so much. XO from #2daughter-in-law
