Salvatore...Edward Lorenzini Jr. here in Estero. I will miss you my friend. I tried calling you. I visited you. and no answer. Sadly, as a last hesitant resort, I found you here. I'm privileged, proud and blessed to have known you my friend. I will miss you Sir. Now you can keep everyone on the other side on their toes. :) Take care and rest in peace. Have your daughter Laura call me if she gets the opportunity. May God Bless You.

May you rest in peace. I will miss you. We had some great conversations and a lot of good laughs.

With all of my respect,

Sal - you sir were much more than a barber and your place of business more than a shop. It was a destination and you my friend were the reason for the trip. You are missed by many.

Condolences from my whole family! Great barber and even greater man, one of the great memories from the old neighborhood. Gave both of my sons there first haircuts as well as many over the years for myself, but more than the haircuts it was the genuine warm feeling you felt going there, almost like home! Sal you will be missed!

I'm going to miss that sweet man, I grow up there across the street for the first 12 years of my life, My dad & brother always got there hair cut by him every time, He was a very great man. Even when I got older I moved back into the area & work at Castellos sandwich shop for 6 years, never miss a day to stop bye and say hi, I will miss him, what a wonderful man I thought of him like a grandfather, signed Bobette Sweeney Medina
