My sincere condolences for your loss. I was able to speak to your father for just a few minutes last summer. He was able to share with me that my father not only served with him in the War but taught him "everything he needed to know". My father was Wallace Yahn, 1st scout with your beloved Sal. Thank you so much for the opportunity to touch base with Sal. It really meant the world to me. I wish you peace and healing in it's proper time. I'm so sorry for the loss.

My husband, Dan, and I will always remember our dinner with Sal, Molly and Jesse. Sal's smile could warm the coldest of days. His gentleness, kindness and humility is a sweet fragrance that will linger long after his soul has moved on.

I have fond memories of Sal & Rose when we went to Rome for my Uncle Joe Gannon's ordination by the Pope back in 1975. We as a whole group traveled and did out sightseeing together. When we got back to the states a few weeks later, Sal and Rose had us all get together for a little reunion at the Happy Chef in Mankato. Bottles of italian wine at each table..Both Rose and Sal were wonderful people and now they are reunited in heaven with Father Joe, my parents Howard and Gen Erickson as well...God Bless.
