He was born July 26, 1933, to Petra Guzman and Esteban Salgado. He married Nilda Arroyo Salgado.
He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and the biggest prankster and jokester anyone could ever know. He never met a stranger. He enjoyed working outdoors.
Survivors include his 4 children: Ray, Jr.; Esteban, and wife Debbie Salgado Aponte; Anthony and wife Sonia Salgado Cortes; and Maritza Salgado; 3 grandchildren, Esteban Jr. , Ramon Antonio and Stephanie Marie; his niece, Myrna, and husband Freddy and their children, Brian and Melissa Bell and husband Richard and their two children, Sean and Ciara. He enjoyed special relationships with Roxanne Picuri and Elda Serrano and other family members in North Carolina; Tata Estrada and her mom, Rosie; and Santos “Shorty” Arroyo representing the family in New Jersey.
The family would like to express their appreciation to the Staff of CMC-Pineville ICU unit for their compassionate care.
The family will receive friends on Sunday, Mar. 16, 2014, from 11a.m. to Noon, followed by his service at the McEwen-Pineville Chapel, 10500 Park Road, Charlotte, NC.
