"My sincere condolences to the family of Sal. I have very fond memories of Sal from the first time he and Teddy came to Kingston schools. He was a super cool guy full of life and energy. Certainly was a hit with the ladies with his style and presence. I will forever remember Sal as a good friend! May God give the family and friends comfort and peace. Farewell my dear friend."
