Sal, having you as one of my best friends and being a part of my family was all that anyone could ask for. You were my friend for 34 years of my life. We raised and fought roosters together for 12+ years. We shared our dinner tables, family memories and life´s expectations throughout our friendship. I will forever miss you, my friend. On the day of your interment, I will be toasting a cup of sake in Tokyo Japan on your behalf. Rest easy Gallero, you lived your life your way and man it was a wonderful life you had. Your friend, Bobby
