George so sorry to hear this sad news. We are in Arizona right now and that is why we didn't come to your dads services. I will never forget the kindness he showed to our family when both my parents died and especially when Charlene died.
May he be welcomed into the Kingdom of heaven with open arms.

So very sorry to learn the sad news.
Joe was a kind and gentle friend and his smile was infectious. But I remember Joe as a very tough football player for St. Philip HS. It's hard to believe that he is gone. Rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Salerno for several years. He always had a joyful demeanor and was impeccably dressed. I met two sons who were with him when I saw him. He was clearly surrounded by loving people. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Joe's family. Although I wasn't one of his close friends, my best friend, Fran Scalafini was. On her behalf, I offer sympathy and prayers. They are probably talking over old times as they meet in Heaven. Eternal Rest to you, Joe.

Rarely in life is one blessed to have the opportunity to know someone as honorable as Joe Salerno. We knew him through social as well as professional contacts. In my lifetime I could count on one hand only a few people who I admired as much as Joe. He will be missed but not forgotten. Till we meet again farewell my friend.

A very sensitive and kind man, Joe personified everything one should be in the bereavement setting. He always was prepared to help a family get through a difficult time. He understood that one is not at their best and by being the honest and good man that he was - he made the ston6 road a bit more bearable. In 1993, he was there for me and I never forgot that.
God bless him& his family.
