Salvatore Joseph Conte

To my dear cousin Puccio's family, our sincerest sympathy to all of you. Puccio was a wonderful guy who grew up to be the best man. I have fond memories when I was a little girl visiting my Aunt Pauline and Uncle Angelo during the summers. Puccio & Stella were always so much fun. After he was a Marine and back home he always had stories. I still clearly remember wonderful dinners put on by Aunt Pauline and all of us sitting at the beautifully set table. He and Mary Ellen visited us in...

Stella, Santina, and all of Puccio's family:
We share your pain and sorrow in the loss of such a good man. I'm a better person for having met him through our dear fathers, and to have spent time with him when I lived in CT for a couple of years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this very difficult time.

Alisa, your dad will be greatly missed by everyone who came in contact with him. My prayers go out you and your family. Ron Orsini

My heartfelt condolences are extended to the Conte family. Sal and I were childhood friends in Hartford's North End and attended St. Patrick's School together. We ran into each other from time to time while in high school and it was always great to see him. May you all find comfort in Our Lord Jesus Christ at this time of sorrow.
Semper Fi Sal!

Dearest Sal it was an honor to have known you and share work with you for so many years. I will always cherish the many things I learned from you about life and values. Godspeed my friend.

Alisa and family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. I'm sorry we won't be able to be with you at the services but we will be out of state. May peace be with all of you.

Love,

Ron, Lee, and Christa Cote

Dear Stella and Santina,
So sorry to hear of your brother's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
In deepest sympathy
