To the Santaniello Family and Friends, our deepest sympathy goes out to you. We knew Sal for a few years before moving to Florida. We rode many times together with the B's Goldwingers. He was a really nice gentleman with a kind heart.

My Heart goes out to the Santaniello Family, Andrea, Joe, Ann Marie and Melanie. Sal was a very special person to me and loved by many. He took me under his wing and I am forever grateful. We all can learn from his "young at heart" outlook on life. His life has ended but he has left a lifetime of stories behind. Lets keep telling them. Love and Peace in your Hearts, J.O.
