Armand Salin Obituary

Hi Dad. I am looking at your picture on my fireplace as I do every day and I still give you our Italian Kiss. You have that wonderful smile that is so YOU! I have one of your Frank Sinatra music boxes with him standing up against the light pole next to your picture and it plays 'Young At Heart' and that was always YOU! I love you Dad and you will always be on my heart and in so, so many beautiful memories. I'm getting teary-eyed now so I will say..Ciao for now. xoxo ArleneMarie

Hi DadaMarie, I know everyone wonders where in the world did you get that name? We must tell them it was all your doing. I have our little name tags that you wrote out for our coffee cups. One for ArleneMarie and one for DadaMarie. Only you Dad, could come up with something like that. I miss you so very much....every minute of every day. I kiss you on both cheeks each morning, but of course, you know that. And I'll continue to do just that until I see you again. I too, can't believe it's already been a year. It seems like a month instead, and that's because you are in our thoughts, our conversations, in our hearts and in our souls. After all, it was you who gave us ours. It's so hard to end this note to you, because I keep on starting to cry. I miss you so much Dad. Oh how I wish I could plant flowers with you again, have a cup of coffee with our special cups, and even share a White Castle down at your bar. When I think of all those wonderful times, I'm right there with you, really....so I know your'e right here with me. I'll end with our special little words we shared each night ...'I know you love me, but not as much as I love you....I know you'll see me in the morning, but not unless I see you first. I love you DadaMarie.......Bona Sera....xoxoxoArleneMariexoxoxo

I love you Grandpaw! I can't believe that it has been a year! It still seems like you are here with us...I know, I know, you are! And Mom and I always say how much you would LOVE and enjoy Delani at this age, but I know that you are able to see everything and enjoy her from above! I just wish you were still here so she could start giving you a kiss on each cheek! I'm blowing you my two right now. Love you, love you! Kimmy

Hi Mr. A - I had to write before this book closes down. You will remember me as Arlene's old friend and partner on stage. Seems like many of the jobs we played were for you and your parties! I want you to know how very wonderful your family is and how they are honoring you. You are in every conversation I have with Leene, and you are present in the heart of every one of your family - they still do you proud! Thanks for being such a big part of my life and for sharing your family and friendship with me. Ta for now.
Love,

Dad, I love you and miss you more than words can say. It's so hard right now, because I keep on thinking that last year at this time you were still here. Kisses to our two "special angels" up there. Tell each one of them to kiss a cheek for me. Keep on watching over all of us down here.I love you more than you love me!!!!

Hi Honey - Well after this week I won't be able to write to you anymore, but I'll still be talking to you
from my heart as I've been doing this past year. Miss you more than ever these past few weeks; I can't believe it's a year already. Seems like just a few months ago you were popping my beer cans and we'd be talking about everyone & everything while sitting at YOUR bar!
Give Ma & Michelle a big kiss and a bigger hug for me, okay? You'll always be with me and in my heart forever. Oh, now I'm starting to cry..
...don't yell at me again !!! I love you,Dad - always. LYOC, LYOC
Daughter #2 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi Dad, I, just like Nancy, forgot to write to you on Fr's Day, so here's my somewhat belated wish. I put your wine glass that Nancy made on your picture. It's still there too. Just looks so natural I may keep it there. I'm missing you just as much now if not more. Oh how I wish you were here. Now see, here I go again with the tears, and here you go again with your 'basta, basta'. I know you and Ma are together, and I sure will have something to look forward to when my time comes. Until then, "I know you love me, but not as much as I love you. And I know you'll see me in the morning, but NOT UNLESS I SEE YOU FIRST! (for those of you who don't know, those were the words Dad said to me, every night before he went to bed) I love you Dad, xoxoxo Arlene Marie

Hi Honey! I'm writing for Father's Day a little late. I was so busy trying to 'recreate' your special wine glass to bring to you...I know you got a kick out of it! I'm missing you again so much tonight...in the mood to pack up my beer and sit and chat with you at your bar like we always use to do. I miss you so, so much.

Buona Pasqua Dada Marie, I'm having my coffee and seeing your smiling face. Your'e so much here Dad. I have such a hard time writing to you. It just makes me so sad and then I start to cry. I know, I can hear you saying, "Basta, Basta". So, on those words I will just say Happy Easter and I'm off to church. I love you Dad, and I miss you just as much. xoxoxo Arlene Marie

BUONA PASQUA HONEY ! I'm sure it's much nicer up there. If you were still down here you'd be complaining like the rest of us...this weather is more
like Christmas than Easter! Even though you'll be absent from dinner at Bogarts this year, we're having a
toast to you! I'm sure that will put a
big smile on your face.
Happy Easter, Dad. LYOC,LYOC,LYOC.....xoxoxoxoxo
Miss you, Daughter #2

Merry Christmas Dad (Honey!) Oh, how
much I miss you. But you've been with me throughout this entire holiday season. From when I started decorating in early November you've yelled at me CONSTANTLY for crying! I wear you're burgundy sweater just about every day to keep me warm, & it also brings so many warm thoughts of you. What does make me smile though is that you are spending your 1st Christmas in heaven with Ma & Tizzy. You three will have the most beautiful Christmas than anyone! All the memories will always be with me. Love you..of course xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

DEAR DAD, OH HOW I MISS YOU! EVERY MORNING I SAY BUON GIORNO TO YOU ANDI KISS YOUR PICTURE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH DAD. I WISH I COULD HAVE PLANTED YOUR FLOWERS FOR YOU JUST ONE MORE TIME. I'LL ALWAYS CHERISH THAT SPECIAL TIME TOGETHER. YOU'D BE TELLING ME WHERE THEY SHOULD GO AND I'D BE DIGGING IN THE DIRT TO GET THEM DONE, AND YOU'D SIT IN YOUR CHAIR OUT BACK WITH THAT WONDERUL SMILE ON YOUR FACE. I MISS THAT SMILE TOO. I KNOW I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY, ALONG WITH MA,& MICHELLE, AND ZIA, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE MISSING YOU EASIER. YOU KNOW WHEN I STAYED AT YOUR HOUSE, EVERY NIGHT I WOULD GO UP TO MY ROOM, AND ON THE WAY I WOULD STOP AT YOURS AND SAY THOSE WORDS YOU SAID TO ME FOR SO MANY YEARS...."I know you love me, but not as much as I love you,& I know you'll see me in the morning, but NOT UNLESS I SEE YOU FIRST). I LOVE YOU DADA MARIE.. XOXOXO ARLENE MARIE

My deepest sympathies to the entire Salin family. I just heard of Armand's passing the other day and thinking of him brought a huge smile to my face.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!
LYOC!
LYOC!!

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Love you always,Nancy

Hi Honey! Bet your all smiles now that you're with Ma again! Bet Tizzy's right on your other side too! You're not arguing with Zia, are you??? I can't believe it's already 4 weeks. I still talk to you every day & think of you every night between 7:10 and 7:20 when you always called me after watching "Vanna"! Yes, the boys are opening my beer cans for me and yes I think of you every time they do.
Miss you so much, but I know you and Ma will always be with me. LYOC! xoxoxoxoxo Daughter #2

Just wanted to convey my deepest sympathy to everyone in the Salin Clan" My thoughts are with you all.

To the entire family,
I am so sorry that I am not going to be able to be there. The one good thing is that he didn't suffer for a long time. My LOVE GOES OUT TO EVERYONE.

Armand. A great neighbor!! A geart family man!! Why Front St was so great.

I am writing to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family. I was sad to hear about the passing of your father.

Please let me know whether there is anything I can do to help during this difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Matt Sr;
My sympathy to you at this sad time.
It seems like yesterday that I would have seen you or your Father. I always thought of Armand as a very nice man.

Rhonda... (associate me with Ron Kardelis)

Please accept my families deepest sympathy on the passing of your father. He was a friend of my dad's and was a great guy.

YOU WILL BE MISSED! I REMEMBER NORTON'S OLDIES PARTIES WHERE YOU WOULD JOIN US IN THE GARAGE AND PARTY ALONG WITH US! WHAT A FUN DAD YOU WERE!!
I KNOW THAT YOUR FAMILY HAS MANY CHERISHED MEMORIES OF YOU THAT WILL NOW BE PASSED ON TO THE LITTLE ONES IN THE FAMILY.
I KNOW YOU'RE IN THE ARMS OF YOUR DEAR WIFE NOW AND ALL THE LOVED ONES THAT WENT BEFORE YOU. GOD TAKE CARE OF YOU!

I choose to only remember the fond memories of Farmer. I know he will be missed but not forgotten.

Hi Honey, I miss you so much already.I'll always treasure all the memories you gave me going back to when we were kids, but mostly the special times over the more recent years. You'll always, always be in my heart. Every time someone has to pop my beer can for me I'll be thinking of you...and I'll smile! Thank you Dad for your love, guidance and for just being YOU. Love you "of course"
