Salvatore Joseph Valentino, known affectionately as Sal, passed away on May 27, 2025, at the age of 71, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Born on June 22, 1953, in Trenton, New Jersey, Sal grew up to be a prominent figure in the commercial real estate sector through his business, Valentino Realty Co., which he founded in 1986 in Atlantic City.

Sal's educational journey began at Long Branch Elementary School, followed by Long Branch High School, and culminated with a degree from Richard Stockton University. His career was marked by a deep commitment to his clients and the community, earning him a reputation as a trusted advisor in Atlantic City's bustling real estate market.

Sal was a devout member of St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, where he participated in various community activities and formed lasting relationships with fellow congregants.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Lynda Law, daughters Maria Hermansky (and son-in-law Jeffrey Hermansky) and Samantha Valentino, along with grandsons Hector and Milo
Martinez. Sal is also survived by his sister,
Frances Everett, brother-in-law William Christopher Everett, nephew Christopher Everett, niece Danielle Godlewski, as well as godchildren and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Clara Valentino, and his brother, William Roe.

The family has entrusted Damiano Funeral Home in Long Branch, NJ, with the arrangements.

The Viewing will be held Sunday June 1st, from 2pm-6pm, with the funeral service taking place June 2nd at St.Michaels Church in Long Branch, New Jersey at 10:30 am. Internment to follow immediately after at Mt.Carmel Cemetery.

Sal's life and legacy will be remembered fondly by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

I met Sal in April 1979 working at children seashore house. He worked part time in the evening. I lived 2 blocks from him. For almost 2 years we hung out daily. His spirit lives inside my soul even though I moved to Michigan in late 1979. I made attempts to contact him. No one on the face of the earth made me laugh like him. I mourn his Passing, and know his Italian blood was always for his family. Peace be with you all, Sal lives on my memories of AC forever. Peace be with you. Philly Joe Corso.
