Sal was a great friend ... always ready with a joke or a story. More than once his fun-loving nature made my band's night more memorable. And, as Elliot mentioned Rockin' Santa was a legend on its own. There we saw Sal was not only an excellent guitarist, but had an amazing musical sense of humor. We'll miss him.

The news of Sal’s passing leaves a sadness and emptiness. We will miss Sal as both a friend and musician. As a guitarist, he was among the best. His jokes and stories were priceless, and Rockin Santa left a legacy all it’s own. Our condolences to his family and many friends. Terry & Elliot
