I remember Sal from the Boys Club and being involved in sports. He is in a good place in Heaven.

As the years pass, I miss Sal even more. He had an infectious smile, he cared about others and he never had a loss for words. Although he was 4 years older than me, we grew up together and shared similar backgrounds. We were both Italian, loved sports, cared about our small community and were brought up with the same family values. Sal Strazza was just about as unique as a person could be and I guess that's what made him so special. You are missed, but never forgotten.....I'll see you some day when we will be reunited. God Bless!

My sincerest condolences to the entire Strazza Family.
Sal would bellow "hey Dorothy" in that unmistakable voice of his. It did not matter if it was at the; skating rink, ball field, golf course, anywhere, “hey Dorothy!” It did not matter to Sal. He made sure that I knew he was there. If I were on the 9th hole at Bruce and he was on the 1st tee” Hey Dorothy!” Everyone would know when Sal was in the area. As one of my coaches. a mentor and a friend, he will be missed.
I think re-naming the Byram School baseball field after Sal would be a great tribute to him, if Sals’ family is not adverse to the idea. Goto Byram Neighborhood Associations’ web-site http://www.byramct.org/petition.asp to sign the petition.

To the Strazza Family, I was sorry to hear of Sal's passing. Sal was my coach for many years starting when I was 9 years old until I was 15 playing for the Byram Vets. He always wanted the best out of you. I'll always remember that. We also played lots of golf and his competitive spirit was fun to watch. I will miss him.

My condolences to the Strazza family. I remember Sal from the pick-up games we used to play in Chickahominy and Byram. He was an entertainer as much as he was a good ballplayer. And always there to help someone out. He will be missed.

Robin & Family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Sal's death. Bob remembers him as a boy at the Canteen--keeping him out of harms way, then as a good friend playing golf and the best mechanic we ever had! He would do anything for you, had a great sense of humor and will be greatly missed. We will be in Virginia and can't make the funeral but you will remain in our prayers.

Dear Robin:
Jessica, Lucy, Macauley, Caitlin and I send you, little Sal and Stephanie our condolences on the loss of wonderful Sal. How sad for you. One comfort, I guess, is that he's "up there" with Tod -- ad they're probably getting in some kind of trouble. Take care.

Playing poker in your bedroom... laughing and bringing you a hard roll with butter from your favorite bakery the last time I saw you. Miss you I will, until we meet again..love your sister Nancy

Coach,
Thanks for all the lessons about baseball and more importantly life. I will always remember the look on your face after we won the championship with Griff Harris. Every time I face a tough lefty I can hear your voice telling me to "crowd the plate". Every fly ball I catch I think of you laughing and saying "Ha ha you see what happens when you catch the ball with two hands". I will always remember you, and will take the lessons you taught me every where I go in life. I know your up there still coaching and still yelling at umpires about bad calls.
Rest in Peace Coach

To Robin and Family,
Tootie and I wish our Condolences on the loss of Sal.
We are sorry we lost touch with you once you moved, but we always remembered the great time we had with you two. This was a surprising week with another loss of a member of our neighborhood group, Pat Mayo.
I am sure Pat and Sal our swapping old stories and watching those Yankees from above.
Love John and Tootie Ambrogio

He was truly a guy I trusted and looked up to. He was a really great brother in law that if he could would move mountains for family and friends. I was lucky enough to know him. But what saddens me most his granddaughter will not remember her wonderful grandfather. She will hear the wonderful stories about him and the pictures, but won't hear his voice or his laughter. Sal and Steph I am so sorry and Robin thank you for taking such good care of him. He loved you ALL very much.

Sal was one of the most lovable people I have ever known, even when he was yelling about a blown call I made on the field. I will always treasure our friendship, that booming voice, and that smile that brought out the same in all who met him. I look forward to seeing him again one day when we can root for Heaven's Yankees. Thoughts and prayers to Robin and the Strazza family....may the many memories guide you through these difficult days.

Dear Robin, Sal Jr. & Stephanie
I am so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. Sal was a beautiful man. We saw each other often being brought up in Byram. He had one of those smiles that made you feel better and it was always there when I saw him. I will miss knowing Sal is not with us. We have not seen each other in years but some ties bind us, Sal was one of those ties for me.

To Sal and his family, I grew with Sal many years ago. I was a Pemberwick pal of his. Without question, he will be sorely missed by us all. It is good to know that Sal merely stepped into another room. A room that I will step into one day and be re-united with my old friend...Go to God Sal!

I am saddened to hear of Sal's passing. He was a dear friend and a great guy. Growing up together in our Byram Terrace - Reynolds Place neighborhood, we were teammates in baseball and football. We also had many good times playing softball for the Newport Inn. Sal will be missed by all who were blessed by knowing him and whose lives were touched by him. May he rest in peace and may God bless the entire Strazza family. You now have a very special angel.
