Not sure what to say?

We talked a hundred times on the phone and online, but never got a chance to meet in person. You were one of the good ones my friend. Brian in Canada

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one Sal, may God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. (Psalms 46 :1)

Sal was one of my teachers at Morris Catholic High School. He was memorable and he always had a smile to share. I treasure those memories and the time I spent with him.

Rest in peace my friend. Thank you for sharing yourself with the Class of 1975

Condolences to Sal Piro's loved ones and many friends. My high school friends and I started attending RHPS at Phoenix's Sombrero Theatre in 1979, and we merrily shouted out at the screen lines that I now realize were written by Sal on the other side of the continent. Sal helped a bunch of theatre kids thousands of miles away plan our futures around the ethos of Don't Dream It, Be It. Thanks for the memories, Sal.

Rest in peace, Mr Piro. You made high school religion class at Morris Catholic unforgettable.

Prayers for the Piro family, may God help you all in your time of sorrow, sorry for your loss.

I first met Sal in Cherry Grove Fire Island back in 1985. The first introduction did not go well until we both realized we were big fans of ALL MY CHILDREN. We also lived about 10 blocks away from each other in Manhattan so we got together often to go to movies and twice I accompanied him to the AMC set and had lunch with Kelly Ripa. After my husband and I moved to NJ, we slowly drifted apart and I had not seen him in about 20 years. I thought of him often. I so enjoyed his friendship....

My condolences to The Piro family . Bless them all . I am so sad to hear of the passing of Sal Piro. "R-OC-K-Y"- Sal started the shouting of. the lines and dressing up in costumes for Rocky Horror and in general promoting. The Rocky Horror Picture Show . So many happy memories when I was 17 at the 8th St. Playhouse in Greenwich Village , New York in 1978. I met Sal and Dory Hartly and the Shadowcast. I was in the RHPS Fan Club member also . Sal did a fantastic job with that....

Sincere sympathies to the Piro family, so sorry for your loss, may God give strength and comfort to you all.
