Donald Sarallo Obituary

Donald Sarallo
May 7, 1932 - Nov 30, 2018
Sunnyvale
Don was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, and was known affectionately as "Buddy" by his parents Michael and Rose, sister Audrey "Cookie", and brother Richard. Don held an unconditional love for his children (Celeste, Larry, Donnie, Pamela, Richard, Geoffrey, Tracey, Paul, and Carole) and many grandchildren. Don spent 27 years of his life making a home and traveling the country with his late wife, Linda. Whether by car, van, motorcycle, truck, camper, or motorhome, Don could always be found with a camera in hand and wearing his trademark rainbow suspenders. From motorcycle rallies to motorhome rallies, some of Don's favorite sites to visit included Death Valley, Canyonlands, Yosemite, and Pismo Beach.
A memorial service for Don will be held on Friday, Feb 1st at 2 pm at Spangler Mortuary, located at 174 North Sunnyvale Avenue, Sunnyvale.
