Aunt Marianne, Allison and Chrissy,

Uncle Sal was an amazing man. I have not stopped thinking of all of you since I heard the news. Whenever I described Uncle Sal to friends, I would always say he was bigger than life. During trips to the US OPEN I always looked forward to spending time with you both and am so appreciative of the time you all took to come into the city to see me. Those lunches and dinners have a special place in my heart.
I will always think back on my Christmas trips with Susan and my parents as such amazing memories. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
I love you all so much.

Sal- I will miss you terribly as both a mentor and a friend. You were a constant presence for more than 30 years in my professional life and I will always be grateful for your guidance and wisdom. You have left a hole not just with me but with thousands of people across Wall Street. You wil never be forgotten. Rest in Peace

Marianne and family.My sincerest condolences.From the first day I met my new 'boss' in the WTC, Sal never treated me as anything but a friend and colleague.AS a BC grad, I walked in and saw a picture of Sal with Fr Monan and thought I was being set up.After he left ICAP, Sal made sure we'd meet at least once a month to stay in touch and I looked forward to every one of them.Sal was a true friend and not easily said about many in our business.I, too, will miss him greatly. Rest in Peace Bubba.

Rest in peace Sal. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with you and work for you. You were fair to everyone, treated each with respect and kindness. I'm sitting here and trying to think if I ever saw you with a frown or heard you raise your vice in anger. Nope, I can't recall. When you wanted my attention ' Hey Turk ' still rings in my ears.

I got to talk to Sal every time his cousin, John, asked me to place a call to him (I'm John's assistant). I will greatly miss his gentlemanly ways and sense of humor! John loved him like crazy and like everyone else, is hurting over his passing. RIP Sal--you were a terrific guy!
