Salvador Vergara Jr.

I got my first job in advertising as a copywriter at Ketchum Advertising in SF where I met Sal. What a great guy with a style all his own. Cool. Smooth. And a major talent as an art director, musicians and singer! He played regular gigs after work at a local bar in the ad district and always drew a crowd. He is missed.

I worked with Sal at Ketchum. A perfect gentleman; always happy and no guy could wear white jeans better than Sal.

My dad ( darrell "Hutch" Hutchinson-)wanted me to write in and let you know how deeply sorry he is to hear of Sals passing. He played with Sal at Paoli's and a few times at Westlake Joe's when my dad worked there.He always enjoyed the talent and a great friendship and a true legend of San Francisco. From the Hutchinson Family we send our deepest sympathies. My dad said he will be there on the 29th at S.I. as well. -God speed.

I remember Sal when he and Rita lived on Murray Street in St. Mary's Park. I will always remember his car, fashionable clothes and clutch bag. As a little girl, I thought that was hip.
I can't forget Rita's cream puffs and think of her when I make them now for my children.

Sorry for your loss, he was a great guy and happy to know him in my childhood. May he rest in peace.
