Not sure what to say?

Mr. Salamone was my 6th grade English teacher at Valleywood in 1978. He was a great teacher and a great guy in general. Firm but fun with a great sense of humor. He used to show us old time comedy movies with Laurel & Hardy, the Three Stooges, and others as an occasional treat. He really made school fun and was a good example of how to carry one's self: give your best, take time to smile and enjoy life, and to help others smile and enjoy life as well.

My condolences go out to...

Marco was a longtime family friend. We are so saddened to hear of his passing. Our love goes out to you and the children

May all of Marco's family feel God's comfort and peace. Marco was a vital force on the Valleywood Faculty. He was loved by both students and faculty and respected for his passion in teaching. ai know my husband, John, had the utmost regard for him and the way he stood up for his values.
May you feel the love of God and friends surrounding you at this
time. Betty Jeltes

I was a long time Driver Education and classroom teacher at Valleywood with Marco. I always enjoyed his company. He was a sincere person and always had time to listen if you needed advice. He will be missed.

Marco and I go way back. I taught with him for many years at Valleywood. He was a great teacher and one of the best friends I've ever had! He will be sadly missed.

I am second one to left of Mr.Salamone. He was a great teacher!

God's blessings to the entire Salamome family. Mr. Salamone was my sixth grade teacher at Townline and I loved the man! He made the school experience a very good one. Years later my daughter got to know him through his visits to the Animal Clinic where she worked. I had her take the school picture in and show him. He was a very special man and touched many lives!

Mr. Salamone was my teacher when I attended Valleywood in 1987. He will be missed.

I had Mr. Salamone, for 6th grade English back in 86. He was a great teacher of more than just English. I would often run into him at the mall, he remembered me after all the years. My prayers are with his family.

My best memories of Junior High were in Mr. Salamone's English class, and when I ran into him years later, he still remembered me. I really appreciated that. Thanks, Mr. Salamone!
