Uncle Sal, I WILL miss you! You sure made me feel welcome,loved and beautiful. You ALWAYS had a smile on your face when you saw David and I. We were SO HAPPY when you would come visit us, be it when we lived in California or Pittsburgh. You Could light up a room. I will never forget your smile. David I know will NEVER forget the shopping trip to Sears with you.
We may not have seen you often, but when we did it was always special and unforgetable. We will love you forever.

Sorry for your loss, my last uncle, he is now with all the good people.I will always remember our trip to California in 1962,the boat ride and the times we spent together as I was growing up.
I always said it was the "waves" in his hair that attracted pretty women, I was with my brother and your dad one night and before we new it he was dancing with 2 women!!!!
I love the pictures you are sending, keep them coming.
