Sal and Jeff came to my home in 2008 during Open Studios in Bouoder, CO and they then asked me to be in their gallery in Key West. I was invited to stay in their home in Key Weston numerous occasions and will miss Sal greatly. A warm and generous man, loved by all who knew him. Jeff was a loving and devoted partner.
