I'm sorry to be so late with this note, but I only discovered your loss a few minutes ago. I served with Sal in basic training at Ft. Polk, La. He was known in our platoon as the song leader. We were sure he knew the words and melodies of every song ever played on American Bandstand! Aside from that, Sal was a really sincere, wonderful friend to many of us,even those of us from Kansas. I'm sure his passing has left sad feelings with you all, but you should know Sal had a wonderful effect on guys throughout the country. My warmest regards to you all.

I just found out that he passed away. My deepest sympathies. When he worked for The Robert Plan in the SIU Department I was his and Tom Merchel's secretary Karen Schmidt. He use to call me his girl Friday. I loved him just like a family member. He was super excited about winning those Super Bowls Tuckets he won.

Many friends of Sal think he was a great joke/story teller. But when I think of Sal, he was first a loving husband and fantastic father to his children.

Sal and I worked together in West Detectives. Sal was the type of man that put his family first. He was bright, brave, and very funny. He was a good detective and a good friend.

My condolences to family and friends.

I first met Sal in my freshman year it's St Tommy Moore. He sat beside me in the majority of our classes for 4 years. He was one of the most funny guys that I ever knew. No matter what the situation was Sal was always able to find some humor in it and make those around him laugh.
While he stayed in the Philadelphia area and I moved to Jersey we stayed in contact on a fairly regular basis by phone or seeing one another at the various reunions.
Rest in peace my good friend....
And yes Jerry Flynn, it is the same Sal gerace that you went to STM with.

I went to St Tommy More with a Salvatore Gerace. He was with me for four great years. He always was interested in the police Force. I wonder if this is my friend and great school companion? Sal and I had lunch every day and had great conversations/ Wonder if this is my old school buddy? [email protected]
