I cannot express how saddened I am by the passing of Mayor sarallo. He was a wonderful man whom made Oakbrook Terrace what it is. He had a special place in his heart for the Fire department which helped us grow too. I will miss not seeing him passing by the firehouse and giving us his wave and hollering out to us. He is in a better place now full of nothing but wonderful memories. God bless him and I will miss him soo very much.

Dear Mrs. Sarallo and Family,
I very very sorry to hear the news about Mr. Sarallo. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through at this time. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to call. I will really miss running into him at the White Hen or 7-11 and being able to talk to him about anything in the world. He was always there if you had a problem with something. He would put anything on hold if you needed to talk about something. We will miss him dearly. Best of luck with everything and all of you will be in our prayers.
