Miss my sweet cousin Sal every day, but today I will pray you feel all the love from your family and know you are still in our hearts and prayers. I will continue to have masses said for you and my other cousin Alan. You both left my life too early and I miss you both very much. Family is everything!
Condolences to all who feel your loss today.
Till we meet again someday.💔🙏🏻

Thinking of you today and sending love.
You are always in my heart and prayers.
Your memory is always a blessing!!!❤️

To those I do not know but were touched like me by Sal. I am so saddened.  Sal and I were great friends in high school.  It was a precious moment in time. A very pivotal time. Sal always so full of life and happiness. We spent so much time together. His mom and dad and brothers and sister. The ham shack and Edison high and sports and I could go on and on...When he moved to Hawaii we lost touch. I called and we connected as if yesterday. I finally made it here and wanted to surprise him and catch up after all these years. How shocked I am to learn he is gone. That huge cliche, Life is so short... three lousy months late. As we age and wish to reconnect it is ever more clear - do not wait.  I hope to connect with the family.  I am just in a state of disbelief....too soon, too soon. What our heart knows our mind cannot understand as time is a thief without caring about now. May you Rest In Peace my friend as soon we too shall join you in the vastness.
Love,
Anthony

Sorry we didn’t see each other more over the recent years, but know we absolutely adored Sal (and you)!  We had so many great times in Guam. This is just a typical weeknight on the town. 

A fun trip to Japan with our families! Always a special memory!

I shot this pic at the Great Aloha Run. Precious memories. Precious Family. 

Sal and family at Hanalani Schools. Sal loved and supported Hanalani. 

Family Camp July 2018, Waianae Hawaii. We were so happy to see Sal and Hitoe the day the came to summer family camp. Kaila was a camp musician and we were all so happy to take this pic together. 

Our church was so blessed when Sal and family came forward for baptism and to join our church family. It was an answer to our prayers. 

Sal was a blessing at his home church Immanuel Missionary Baptist Church. He was always willing to help with whatever needed to be done including teaching Sunday school or reading the Sunday Morning Psalm.  We love you Brother Sal. Looking forward to seeing you again. 

Good memories of moving to HB & working with Sal in his flooring business.

Sean and I will never forget that we shared good laugh, and his big smile.
He was a very good man and great father. We’ll remember him with his signature smile for the rest of our lives. 
We love you, Sal chan very very much.
