When I saw this obituary a few years ago, I was shocked. I wondered why Sal stopped talking to me. He and I were only friends for a couple years. But aside from his struggles, he was a great guy with a great sense of humor, with a huge, warm heart. We became friends at one of the worst times in my life and Sal would always check on me and cheer me up. I miss you Sal. Rest In Peace my man. Know that I do thinking you often.
