Dear Jeanette, Gina and Kathy,

My heart goes out to you and your family. Sal was one of a kind. We’ve been out of touch since Duo-Fast closed their doors but my memories of Sal will always be of fun and laughter. May your memories bring you comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Sal will truly be missed by the many hearts he touched at Duo-Fast Corporation.

I worked at Action Medical Equipment Dept at Elmhurst Home Health until oct of '07. Sal was the bright spot of the day when we would have to interrupt his busy schedule with our "screams" for help.
I will remember him with great fondness and his memory will always bring a smile to my face. He was a great guy.

I just heard the news about Sal and am deeply saddened. I worked with Sal years ago at Elmhurst Hospital and he was a great guy to work with. His smile was contagious! It turns out Sal worked with my mom at Duo-Fast many years prior to Elmhurst. My family has been blessed with knowing and working with Sal. He will be deeply missed.

My heartfelt condolences to your family at this sad time. I worked with Sal at Elmhurst Hospital. I could always depend on Sal to help me. Whenever you asked Sal how things were going, he would say... "not bad for a Monday" (no matter what day it was). Sal was a wonderful mixture of caring and gruff. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Dinardo Family,

I worked with Sal this last year at Elmhurst. Sal was a joy to work with and I will deeply miss him. He gave me the nickname of "Mr. Microsoft". He would give me the "I'm up to no good" grin and greet me, "Well, hello Mr. Microsoft"; it always made me grin and brightend my day. I always joked that I would think up a good nickname for him, but never could find one that matched his joy for life and matter of fact way of looking at things. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember Sal, he was and remains fondly remembered and a cherished friend.

Dear DiNardo Family,
I want to extend my sincere sympathy to all of you. Sal was wonderful to work with, always willing to help and resolve any problem that was given to him. Most importantly, Sal did more than his job. He not only fixed the problem but made you smile with his wonderful sense of humor. We will miss him. My prayers will continue to be with you.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Sal's passing. We worked together off and on at the hospital. He was a wonderful support person for my staff that worked from home. If they had a problem I knew that Sal could resolve it. He was also very jovial. His quick whit could always bring a smile to your face. We will miss him and my prayers are with you as you mourn his passing.
