Salvatore "Sal" Balistreri Sendik

Entered into the Fullness of Eternal Life surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, February 6, 2020 at the age of 84.  Resident of Mequon.  Beloved son of the late Anthony and Marie (nee Krajcir) Sendik and beloved husband of the late Rosemarie (nee Patti) and Rose Mary (nee Bruzina) Sendik.  Loving father of Anthony “Tony” (Patricia) Sendik, John (former wife Mary Ann) Sendik and Meri Jo (John W.

Sal was a hardworking and devoted man who had a deep love for his family, his work and a strong devotion to his faith.  He was an active member of Sendik’s Markets for 70 years.  Sal lived a life full of accomplishments; one of his greatest moments was when he and his first wife Rose Mary spent private time with Mother Teresa.  Sal served on the board of the State Financial Bank, was two time president of Ozaukee Country Club and had a lifelong passion for the game of golf.  He was the last of a dying breed that lived to work.  Sal will be deeply missed by his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
