Dear Donna and Denise...very sad to hear of your father's passing. I remember him to be a great man with much love in his heart for both of you. Know that a rose now grows on the other side of the garden wall. My thoughts are with both of you.

Very sad to hear of Dr. Salvadge's passing. I fondly remember visiting him when I was a child and going with my grandmother to clean his office every week. He was a great man who was amazing at his job.

Our hearts go out to your Family at the loss of this wonderful man.

"DOC" was a such a terrific person. All who knew him could not help but love the guy! I was one of his "golf buddies" and from the first time I met him we became friends. On the course we had a GREAT TIME!!! We would tell stories, jokes, and lies and laughed our way around the course at Eastpointe. We miss you, "Doc." Jim & Cindy Kendall

I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I was their mailman in Allentown duing the 80's and both your parents always made my day special anytime I saw them. I occassionally ran into them in Allentown after they moved to Florida and I always walked away from our meetings with a smile on my face. They will be missed.
