Salvatore was born in Brooklyn, New York on February 22, 1943 to the late Adam J. and Jennie Sciascia. He leaves fond memories to his brother Adam Sciascia and his wife Loretta; his nephews Adam Anthony and Thomas Sciascia; his niece Dana Stergiou; his great-nephews Tommy and Dominic Sciascia and James Stergiou; and his great-nieces Arianna Sciascia and Chloe Stergiou.
Salvatore’s lifelong passion for music was evident in his love for golden oldies from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, which brought joy to his days. A lover of good food, Salvatore was always drawn to the comforting flavors of Italian and Chinese cuisine. He enjoyed spending quiet moments with his talking books and had a special fondness for classic Western TV shows, especially The Lone Ranger.
Known for his incredible memory, Salvatore had a knack for remembering the birthdays of everyone he held dear in his heart. Above all, family was at the center of everything Salvatore cherished. Nothing brought him more joy than gathering with his loved ones. His spirit will live on in the music, meals, and cherished memories that connect all who were fortunate enough to know him.
