Dear Nancy,
I have waited this long to release the feelings that are so bottled up within me. I cannot imagine how you feel to have to let go of your soul mate. It does not matter how you had to let go, what matters is that he is gone. My heart and my soul aches for you and no words I would say could ever console you. You are the best Nancy, Sal said it and I will say it again! Thank you for truly being the soul mate to my friend. As you know, I came to Denver almost 13 years ago to begin a new life. I had my little family but no friends, no acquaintances, no extended family, no job, no home. I met Sal thru a temp job for Equinox and he liked me and wanted me to work for him. I began working for him and although it offered challenges and times there were looks and snickers and I was the “oddball” from Dallas, Sal loved me and I loved him. We bickered back and forth over the “Cowboys” and he made fun of my accent, giving me the nickname “Dallas” and laughed at my colorful clothing and big hair and just was not sure my personality was going to make it in Denver! But make it we did and we were successful and had a great time being successful!!!! Sal was incredible – it is amazing what can happen when you just pay attention to other people. Sal was not only involved with the job but he was involved with my family and me personally. Thru Sal, I found an extended family, that sphere of friends and acquaintances, the job and he helped my family and I get our home. He knew when life was tough, he knew when I missed my family and needed to visit home, he knew when I just needed a hug or just to be told it would be alright. Sal knew when I needed time away, he knew about life and he wasn’t afraid to share and say I too have been there. Sal was real. No, we never hit golf balls together, we never went to Vegas, we never did some of the things that I read other people write about that are so joyous but for me Sal was there for 13 years and he was there for the real stuff. He made a difference in my life. Nancy, I watched you and heard all about you and grew to know you and love you – you made a difference in my life. When life’s tragedies touched your and Sal’s life – it touched my life. Thank you – thank you for watching my children grow up – thank you for being at Jennifer’s wedding and sharing that with us. Thank you for letting me share your lives.
Sal – to the world you may just be one person, but to one person you might just be the world. I love you Sal – I love you Nancy. God Bless You. May you rest in peace Sal and I will see you on the other side!!!!!

Sal was definitely a favorite with Phil and I. We have memories when he was young and we all got together at Aunt Rose and Uncle Franks for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (none of us can cook today like those women!!!) Sal was like Phil's younger brother because he spent most of his time at Aunt Rose's with the boys. He stood up to our wedding 52 years ago. Although we didn't see Sal and Nancy because they were in Colorado, we did meet in Las Vegas a few years ago and they came to Florida and we got to see how skinny Sal got. We know how difficult the last few years were for him and Nancy--he kept in touch--and pray that he is now at peace with all the family in heaven. Our love goes to all of Sal's family!

Sal was the most tenacious, optimistic and loving person I know. Through his enormous fight he kept an upbeat attitude and was as gracious and enjoyable as he ever was. I feel honored to have known him and will always remember him. Nancy & family, thanks for giving so much over the years as he went through his battle. You are to be commended. Now, although it is very difficult without him, at least he does not have to suffer anymore. I will pray for him throughout my life and wish you the very best. God bless.

We are so sorry for your loss.
May God guide Sal to his table and give you peace in your days of sorrow.

Dear Nancy, Kevin & Gina,
I can't begin to imagine how much you miss Sal! I keep wanting to pick up the phone and ask him what to do with my license! It was just a habit, I know that if I ever had a question about anything Sal would have my answer! It was so hard watching such a strong man fight such a horrible battle but through it all he could still make me laugh! It gives me comfort,somehow, knowing Sal is now with Tori. It still is no fun for those of us left behind, I want to give you all a big hug and let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Caeti Family,
We have enjoyed all the times we were able to spend with Sal, and of course we enjoyed all those stories we heard about growing up in the Caeti family! You all have a special place in our hearts. We are truly going to miss Sal, but we know he is at peace. We pray that God's Grace will comfort you and give you strength during this time.
With Deepest Sympathy,
The Fritsch Family

Dear Nancy, Gina, Kevin, grandchildren and family,

I can't begin to express in words how I felt about Sal. He was my friend, business partner, and big brother. Sal was truly the best. He was caring, he was tough, he was generous and he was respected and loved by all. I admire his extremely long and difficult battle with the most devastating of diseases. I know he is in a better place now and reunited with his son Tori! Nancy---you are to be commended for the fabulous job you did during this most difficult of times. You never waivered in your support as a wonderful loving wife and your 24/7 dedication to helping your husband fight this battle and Sal's passion for life. I pray for you and your family everyday and hope you can find some comfort in knowing the great man we all loved is now in heaven and not suffering anymore. I will never forget our rounds of golf around the country. I will never play golf again as long as I shall live without saying a prayer to God thanking him for allowing me to be Sal's friend. God bless you all!

Nancy: You know how much Michael and I think of you & Sal, we had so much fun in Vegas with you two, and so many memories as neighbors. The party at Arrowhead, all of our trips to casino's & Chicago, all the times that we hung out. He was such a winner. Always, even with his battle with cancer, he never, never gave up. I heard he didn't want to go to the hospice and he didn't, I am glad he didn't that just isn't Sal. You guys have so many people that love and admire you. We will all miss Sal very much . I pray for you and your family, I know how much he loved those grandchildren. You will always have a special place in our hearts, please don't stay away call us anytime. I know all is golf buddies miss him already. Nancy, I am so sorry about your bestfriend. Our sincere condolences. Mike & Donna

Unfourtunatly I didnt have the pleasure of knowing Sal for very long before his passing. What I did know was for sure a pleasure. He was always nice to me no matter how horrible he felt. When ever he would see me, he would make a point to try and make conversation with me even though it was a struggle to speak. I know I will miss him and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Nancy, I will be here if you ever need anything from me.

Nancy my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Sal was a wonderful person. He was kind, generous and one tough man. His fight the past three plus years is an inspiration to me and all his friends. We are all in debt to him for all the time and effort he put in to organize and see that our golf trips to Arizona went off without a hitch. Our loss is the Lord's gain. Sal will truly be missed.

Nancy, Gina and family. It is with sadness that I say good bye to my friend Sal. He demonstrated such a fight for three years to beat the disease that it was just remarkable. Sal and I always valued our similar heritage and both deciding to marry a woman from Nebraska. He mixed having strength and kindness, courage and toughness, devotion to his family and to work, loving sports and golf, being charming and a SOB, and being a friend and a mentor.

Dear Nancy & Gina: I first met Sal when Caeti & Mills advertised for car dealers and he became one of them 30 years ago. As his attorney, we have been through many highs and lows together. I have had many clients, but few that I can call one of my BEST FRIENDS. He was a wonderful guy and lived life to the fullest. Nancy, you were Sal's wonderful wife and partner and Sandy & I still have a wonderful friend in you. Gena, Your Dad was so proud of you and Tory and your kids. He's with Tory now and we can all take some comfort in knowing that his suffering is over. I will miss my best friend and golf partner.

Sal...we will miss you dearly. I know the pain of losing you is that of our own hearts because you are in a far better place...God took your pain away and brought you to heaven to be with Him and Tory. I was blessed to have you in my life, Sal. I will always love you!

My dad was so much to me-- my teacher, my guide, my strength. I can't express how much I will miss him. He never wavered, never once even until the end. He lived his life and died with unmatched grace, love, strength and determination. He loved life and would have done anything to hold onto it. He was and always will be my hero.
