Dell'Anno Salvatore R (Sal) Dell'Anno, age 89, passed away Wednesday, January 7, 2015, at his home. In typical fashion, son, Vincent was at his side, not wanting to leave his Father alone.

Salvatore R enjoyed numerous hobbies such as cooking, photography, audio/video, woodworking, electrical work, and general home repair. He had a special talent to be able to fix just about anything. Another special talent was his ability to be able to research anything on the planet. If you needed an answer, he could find it for you. If you were buying something, he knew the best one with the latest technology. Salvatore R was one of those very approachable guys you could confide in with a problem you may have. He had a very big heart and would help anyone, in any way he could. He was one of those people that could talk to anyone, on any subject that rare gift of gab. To know him was to know that he liked to do it his way, truly part of his charm. He will be sadly missed by all those that he touched. After years of illness, may you finally be pain free. You may now rest in peace old soldier. No one single individual deserves it more. Thanks to St Joseph's Hospice for caring for our Father.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Dell'Anno's, (my dad, Lyle Hay, would've corrected me immediately if I had the notion to call Mr. Dell'Anno or Mr. Falcone or Mr. Renzi by their 1st names, though we saw them often), passing. Reading the obituary reminded of Mr. Dell'Anno's great sense of humor. He could weave a story or a long winded joke like a magician, usually ending in an explosion of laughter. I know for a fact that my dad thought very highly of these gentlemen in their careers that intertwined in those years from 1971 - 1985. I always looked forward to seeing them, including Lola Dell'Anno, (who I could could call by her 1st name, a pleasant and beautiful woman, well versed and suited to Mr. Dell'Anno). May they both find peace, as well comfort for their survivors, especially their children who I remember quite fondly. My deepest condolences to all.

So sad to hear of Sal's passing. He was my mentor for so many years at Sears. He took me under his wing and made me a better person by his example and guidance. Heaven is now enriched with his spirit. God bless you Sal.
