Dear Sal,
I’m truly heart broken you have left this Earth. When I think of my memories with you, all I see is your big bright smile. You were always such a happy person and brought so much laughter to the room. You were all about family and was that person to drop what you were doing to help. My favorite memory of you is, when you used to pass by my house in Brooklyn with Marco. You would come during your lunch break to say hi, and grab an espresso. Somehow my mother always convinced you to stay for lunch. During this time you always talked about the boys and Giovanna. I remember you saying how Danny couldn’t live 5ft away from a Starbucks, how Marco was all about the girls and how Richie was studying in school. These are just some memories that always stuck with me and I will cherish them. You were truly a great man! You will be greatly missed!

Caro Zio anche se abbiamo condotto vite distanti, il bene e il rispetto che abbiamo sempre provato per te non conosce lontananza; ti ricorderemo sempre sorridente, festoso e con un gran cuore.
Riposa in pace

To my nephew Sal,
When I think of you, I think of all the happy times that we had when we all lived in Canarsie. Your uncle loved playing jokes on you and you put a lot of smiles on his face. We used to love the morning coffee and time that we spent together before you and Giovanna would go to work. You will be missed dearly.
To my niece Giovanna and children Danny, Marco and Richie, I am so very sorry to hear about this loss that took place way too soon. Many hugs to you.

Sal, as I am writing this, I feel like I am writing this for someone else. I can not believe that this is for you. We are stunned, sadden and angry that such a loving, fun and amazing person has been taken away from everyone. You touched the hearts of all that you have met and have left a loving and lasting impression in our minds. They say that God only takes the very best and boy oh boy does he ever.
When we think of you the best of memories from Canarsie days come to mind. You were always smiling and always had a trick or two up your shelves. The greatest memories that we have are the jokes that you and my father used to play on each other or the evenings that we used to share drinking espresso and spending time together. I remember the trips to Action Park where you and my father would have races with the racing cars going against traffic to beat everyone else to the finish line. Those were great family times surrounded by many beautiful and lasting memories. Many heart bleed with your loss. You enriched us all with your passion for life and your love for family and friends.
You will be so very missed. RIP Sal. I hope you are joining up with my father and brother and you can continue your fun times up in heaven.
Our hearts go out to Giovanna, Danny, Marco and Richie. All our love to you and the family.
With deepest sorrow and sadness,
Aldo, Vita, Frank and Michael Distabile

There are no words that will make this easier. Sal was a great man, you ALWAYS knew when he was around, he had a way of making his presence known. He was kind, funny, had a huge heart, just a great human all around. We had some wonderful times... One memory that stands out, was at my confirmation, he decided it was a great time to jump in the outdoor pool (mind you, we were at a catering hall and it wasn't warm out) . That's just one memory that just make me laugh when I think of him. There are just so many, and that is what I will always think about, the good times we all had as a family. You truly will be missed. Giovanna, Danny, Marco, and Richie, my heart is so broken for you, I'm so sorry this had to happen, it will never make sense. You will forever be in my heart.. RIP Sal xoxo I love you all so much ❤️

There are no words to express how deeply saddened and heartbroken we were to hear about the loss of Sal. There are so many wonderful memories I will always cherish. I am grateful to have known him. He was always so happy and full of life and made everyone around him happy. I’ll never forget the Friday visits to our houses in Canarsie, the Home Bakery pastries, trips sand family gatherings. I love all of you and know we are all here for you. Love, Denise, Danny, Samantha, Dakota & Daniel❤️

Giovanna, Danny, Marco, and Richie,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for the loss of Sal. My heart truly aches for you. His laughter and smile were infectious, his sense of humor was one-of-a-kind, and his love for his family was always extremely evident. He always made me feel so welcome in the family, and for that I am extremely grateful. I can’t remember a family get-together where he wasn’t joking and laughing. He just emitted joy. I will miss him dearly. Please know that you and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers during this unimaginably difficult time. Sending all my love.

Ciao zio,
We can't believe it yet... It seems to be a horrible nightmare, but unfortunately it's just a reality we can't understand. We'll always remember you as a lovable and friendly man who always had a smile on his face. We are glad to have had the possibility to spend together beautiful times on Christmas in New York, which has been our best holiday ever. You will live forever in our hearts and memories. Take care of us from Heaven, love you so much zio. Lots of love to zia Giovanna, Danny, Marco and Rich hoping to hug you soon.

Dear Zio Sal, we will miss you incredibly knowing that we should have had more time to enjoy holidays, birthdays, vacations, family dinners, and celebrations with you. Your ability to always make us laugh through any situation, joke, have fun, and give a warm loving smile will be sorely missed. I remember going to the Grand Canyon and you pranking us and laughing throughout the trip which forever implanted this wonderful trip in my memory. We feel an incredible loss by your passing but we do hope you have gotten some rest and found some comfort up there with Nonna. We hope and pray for comfort for Zia Giovanna, Danny, Marco, and Richie who miss you more than we could know. Love you so so much, Gabby and Timmy

I am so shocked and very sorry to hear the passing of Sal. I pray for the whole family for his loss. Sal was my brothers brother in-law, but to me and my family, I considered him as my very own brother, and uncle in one. I have the upmost respect for him and his wife Giovanna and his kids that he raised, Danny, Marco and Richie, such good kids. It shows what a great, funny human being Sal was and still is in heaven. When I was growing up to what I am today, Sal and the Occhipinti family was always there for every get-together and celebration event that we had. We were all one. I feel I lost a brother and uncle at the same time. Its not fair in life, why this happens. When Sal and my brother’s went to Florida last year, staking out neighborhoods and towns so we can retire together, I felt great and content that all the years around the table and on the couch, talking and laughing, drinking coffee, wine and eating the desert, which Sal always loved, we would all do again, retired-24 hours a day. It will never be the same without Sal.
I will keep his laughs, his accent, funny jokes and his comments in my heart, think about them always and when or if I do make my retirement with the rest of my family, and we gather like always ,I’m going to raise my drink in Sal’s honor, and say cheer’s to a wonderful person in heaven, because that’s how Sal would want it. Sal God be with you, Rest in Peace. Thank you for all the great memories, until next time we meet. Keep the coffee hot.

I miss you so much dad there is a sadness that comes over me every time I wake up that I know I can’t call you and just talk with you. I wanted to go to more nascar races and enjoy more holidays with the family. My heart is so incredibly broken with sadness over the fact we will not be able to enjoy you anymore. You literally are always the brightest character in the room at all times and I adore you and feel like no words I can keep sharing can actually express the sadness I am feeling. I love you sooooo much dad and I’m glad you’re with your parents brothers and sisters at this time and cracking jokes on Nonna brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. It is the end of an era but damn it was fun. I love you so much dad you really were the best I could have had. I love you forever.

I am heart broken by the loss of my uncle, my Zio Sal, and I pray for comfort for Zia Giovanna, Danny, Marco, and Richie. Zio was one of the most fun-loving people you will ever meet. He always had a smile on his face and could make light of any situation. When I think of the holidays, Zio Sal is one of the first people that comes to my mind. He was always so happy and ready to joke around. We had a common bond over delicious food and Italian bread. As a kid, I used to love getting together with family. We would cram 25 people in a house and everyone would fall asleep wherever they got tired. I remember when I would wake up and just lay there and be comforted by the sounds of uncles, aunts, and parents voices talking and laughing over coffee, with Zio being one of the loudest. Zio's laugh was infectious and you couldn't help but smile and laugh along with him. It is so sad that he is gone, but I take peace in knowing that he will always be with us and now he is at rest with Nonna.

Caro Salvatore,
questo è l'ultimo saluto, ti ho voluto e ti voglio tanto bene, nel mio cuore restano tantissimi ricordi in particolare quelle della tua giovinezza.
Quando ti sei sposato e sei andato molto lontano creando una bellissima famiglia e noi eravamo tutti contenti di questo.
Quando tuo fratello Carmelo sapeva che venivi in Sicilia, non perdeva tempo e venivamo pure noi, per stare tutti insieme.
Tante volte sei venuto a trovarci in Puglia ed era così bello, adesso tutto questo non sarà più possibile, ci mancherai Salvatore, salutami Carmelo e tutti i tuoi fratelli e sorelle, ti voglio bene.
Tua cognata Matilde

I knew Sal for about 15 years and not once did I see him without a smile on his face. He had such a great sense of humor and such an unbelievable work ethic. As long as I've been friends with Rich, Sal has always been such an integral part to his family and my heart cannot hurt enough for them. Sal lived the American dream. It makes me happy to see him celebrated here.

My dad...I honestly don’t even know where to begin as the paragraph I’m about to write is not even 1 percent of what I can say about him but here it goes. He truly was the best dad I ever could’ve asked for. He came to every single one of my baseball games, and for anyone who knows me I played a lot of baseball as a little kid. He would drive me all over Long Island to watch me play and he genuinely loved every second of it even if baseball wasn’t his favorite sport in the world. He just loved being there for me and getting to watch me do something that I love. The thing I admired the most about him was his work ethic immigrating from Italy and learning such a difficult trade. He commuted to Brooklyn everyday for the last 25 years, driving my mom to work, picking her up, all while working a 10-12 hour shift doing manual labor, and sitting in crazy New York traffic. I always thought to myself I don’t know how he does it. I was truly inspired by his dedication and work ethic. Secondly, no matter how large the gathering was he was always the spark in the room. He always got people to laugh and he was always the funniest guy in the room and half the time he didn’t even mean to be funny.
Early Friday morning we lost a great man and the best father a son could ever ask for. May he Rest In Peace with Nonna and no longer be in pain. I will love you forever and ever and I’ll never stop thinking about you dad.

Big Sal as Dustin would call him! He was so generous! Every time we would come visit, we were family! We loved the conversations and lots of laughs that came about! The time
I remember the best, Dan was out in the back with the kids, Sal egged on one of them to spray Dan with the hose, he did, little did Sal know, he was going to end up getting sprayed too! It was so funny and what a sport he was! I can still hear him calling Quinn, “trouubbbllee”. We’ll miss his warm welcoming demeanor and the life he would bring to a room. A great man indeed that is manifest in his children and the types of people they are. Lots of love to Giovanna, Dan, Richie and Marco from The Judds

It’s not real... I will wake up and it was just a dream...a nightmare! But the nightmare is real.... I prayed and prayed and prayed that God would keep him here with me ... I guess God has bigger plans for him and it certainly doesn’t seem fair to me and us all. Who’s going to make us laugh everyday with lots of impromptu everyday jokes? It was so natural to him... we called him “the social butterfly”... no matter where we went, he always found somebody that he knew.... I remember one time even in Canada. On our commute to work, I would just burst out laughing at his jokes... everybody who knew him, loved him!!! While Sal was at the hospital, I got countless calls and messages from family, friends, and work related people and EVERYONE would tell me what a great guy he is ... ..I cannot fathom life ahead without him.... his birthday gifts still wrapped on my counter....Sal said, “I’ll open them when I come back “.... He was supposed to retire this year and I next year and we were supposed to travel and go back to Italy and visit the whole family... I cannot think ahead of one day ... one hour... one minute at a time right now... it’s too painful... I’m thankful for all the good times and memories, but that’s hardly enough ... I miss him tremendously.... I don’t think I can’t ever put the millions broken pieces of my heart together again....but at least he will be in each and every tiny piece....
LOVE YOU FOREVER ❤️

My dad...he was the BEST!!! Father, brother, son, uncle—simply the BEST!!! He was funny, friendly, lovable, sociable, generous, a jokester, a big Teddy Bear! He had such an infectious personality—everyone gravitated towards him. To my dad, EVERYONE was family. Family and friends were of utmost importance to him, and good food was a close second. He loved everyone, and everyone loved and adored him, and everyone felt comfortable around him.
Tragically, for some unknown reason, God took him from us way too soon. I am devastated, heart-broken, and angry that he’s gone. There is now a void in our lives that can never be filled. Our family and the world lost an AMAZING man! The only little bit of peace and comfort I have is knowing that he is now in Heaven with Nonna Paola and his parents and his brothers and sisters, whom he loved so dearly, and he’s no longer in pain. My dad meant so much to so many people and we will miss him more than words can express.
I know Daddy is our guardian angel up in Heaven, looking over all of us and keeping us safe.
You were the BEST dad a son could have and I hope you know how grateful I am to you for all of your unconditional love, kindness, and support all my life, and for teaching me the importance of hard work, being proud of who I am, and the importance of family and friends. I have so many fond memories with you: teaching me to ride a bike, taking us to ride the Go-Kart, family vacations every summer to so many different places, picking me up in the middle of the night on an overnight Boy Scout trip because I was scared to be separated from you and Mommy, vacationing in Italy with me and Rosanna, teaching me how to drive, picnics and BBQs out East where you and Pino would pet the cows and the horses and the goats, walks on the Boardwalk at Jones Beach, trips to Atlantic City and Mount Airy, countless dinners at different restaurants like Colosseo and Joe’s of Avenue U, going to get authentic Italian food on Arthur Avenue, so many fun holidays, but dropping me off at college my very first year is the one memory of you that really sticks out in my mind because it was the very first time I ever saw you cry—it made me realize just how important family was to you and how much love was in your heart. You were so loved by so many people and I will miss you forever! You will always be in my heart and a big part of who I am today.
I miss you and I love you so much Daddy!!!

Caro Zio sei e resterai nei nostri cuori . Ho ricordi di te di quando ero piccola che non posso dimenticare, quando ci siamo sentiti l'ultima vola mi hai raccomandato di non uscire e di salvaguardare le mie bimbe e all'improvviso ...questo grande dolore. Avevi ancora tanto da fare , potevi goderti ancora la tua famiglia. Salutaci tanto i tuoi fratelli e sorelle. Io ti penserò sempre...riposa in pace. Anche se sei stato lontano sei sempre stato presente come il resto della nostra grande famiglia. Zio, un bacio particolare dalle mie bimbe che si sono commosse quando hanno capito che te ne sei andato. Zia, ti saremo vicini e ti vogliamo bene, salutaci tanto Danny, Marco e Richie.
Un abbraccio grande, ti voglio ricordare così come in questa foto. Un saluto ti arriva da Gianni, dalle bimbe e da mio papà.

For some reason, God must have needed my very special Zio to join his ranks of angels and saints. Maybe he needed someone in heaven who was going to be the jovial one, the one to stir up the party, or the one to make sure everyone would know where the good pizzerias are. All I know is, it's just not fair!!! I wasn't ready for God to take him away yet because we still had so many BBQ's left to be had, so many vacations, and so many holidays to still celebrate. I remember the fun trip we took to Italy, the kids birthday parties he has shared with us, the hugs, the kisses and all the thousands of childhood memories. As my heart shatters in a million pieces, I feel pain, anger, sorrow, and the deepest level of sadness for this loss of the greatest Zio ever. I am looking forward to him continuing to wrap his loving arms all around our whole family as he watches over us everyday going into the future. Moving forward, I hope to make him proud as he watches over us everyday.

Ciao Zio, il tuo ricordo, il tuo sorriso, la tua generosità e il tuo grande amore per la famiglia resteranno scolpiti nei nostri cuori e nella nostra memoria. Sei sempre stato lontano ma sempre presente nelle nostre vite e nei nostri pensieri. Il tuo arrivo in Italia è sempre stato una gran festa per tutti noi e tu hai sempre ricambiato con immenso affetto. La nostra vacanza a New York è stata ricca di emozioni e di nuove scoperte dove ci avete accompagnato ricoprendoci di mille attenzioni e tanto affetto. Non avremmo mai potuto immaginare di perderti in questo modo e in così poco tempo. I nostri cuori sono spezzati ma ci restano i momenti intensi ed indimenticabili vissuti insieme che conserveremo tra i nostri ricordi più cari. Ciao Zio vola sereno verso la luce dei tuoi fratelli e sorelle. Buon Viaggio.
Un abbraccio forte a Zia Giovanna, Danny, Marco e Richie.

Sending all my love to Dan and family! Salvatore was an amazing man and I will miss him dearly. I’ve spent a lot of the day laughing about the many stories Dan always shared with me about sweet Salvatore. One of my favorite memories will always be when our families met to spend the day in Rhinebeck. So many sweet memories I will always treasure ❤️
All my love to all,
Brianne

Quanti ricordi ci hai lasciato, ricordi che non potremmo mai dimenticare, come quando nel pieno della tua giovinezza sei venuto a trovarci in Germania, a volte ci facevi arrabbiare, ma tante altre volte ci facevi ridere, ricordi indimenticabili!
Salvatore sei e sarai sempre presente nei nostri pensieri e nei nostri cuori.
Giovanna a te e ai mie nipoti mando un grande abbraccio
Tua cognata Matilde

Sal, it’s hard to process that you’re gone. Still I have moments where I find myself planning trips the 6 of us would take, the celebrations, the get togethers with the whole family....the foods you like to eat....the places you like to go...and then harsh reality hits me hard. We still had so much to do... Our hearts ache for losing you. Our only comfort are the fond memories of a generous, caring, friendly and fun loving guy who always took pleasure in making everybody laugh. To know you was to love you. I can’t believe you’re gone. Rest In Peace my dear brother-in-law. We feel a tremendous void and we will always miss you dearly .

Ciao Zio Salvatore,
ci hai lasciato TROPPO IN FRETTA, improvvisamente, senza lasiarci il tempo di rendersene conto.
Alzando gli occhi al cielo ci piace pensare che le persone a noi care ci guardino.
Nell'arco della giornata le pensiamo, al mattino, la notte, ricordando una data un luogo, un odore.....
Chiudo gli occhi e mi ritrovo in dietro di quasi 26 anni, a sorridere e scherzare con te, oggi ancora di più...ho nella mente fantastici momenti condivisi con te la zia Giovanna, Daniel, Marco e Richie ricordi che rimarranno scolpiti a fuco nella mente e nel mio cuore ci siamo frequentati poco per via della lontananza, ma tutte le volte che venivate in Italia per la nosta grande famiglia era un GRANDE EVENTO una GRANDE festa e i ricordi sono meravigliosi come meraviglioso eri tu grande immenso zio, ti vogliamo bene e ci mancherai da morire un abbraccio a te zia Giovanna e voi cugini.
Vorremmo tanto essere li con voi in questo momento ad abbracciarvi.....il nostro cuore spezzato è con voi.
Ciao Zio Salvatore
Tuo nipote Giovanni 0cchipinti e famiglia

My Dear Brother in Law Salvatore,
I am in a place where I cannot stand. It is the darkest, loneliest and painful place I have ever had to experience in my life. I had somehow managed to crawl out of this abyss some years ago when my dear brother Simon left us with only memories of his kindness and humility. Memories that finally pulled me from this dreadful place. Salvatore, I was not ready for this again, and yet this sorrow is all too real again. I will search the wonderful memories of the fun and laughter we have enjoyed with your presence to soothe the void that I find myself in. I had planned to travel the road of getting old together, retiring and having times to sit, laugh and reminisce on some old bench by the sea. You left us so suddenly Salvatore, I hurt that I did not get to hug you, thank you for the fun and loving holidays together and to have a chance for a brotherly goodbye.
Rest in Peace my dear brother in Law Salvatore.

FOREVER WITH US
Giovanna and I met Salvatore in my grandmother’s little town named Chiaramonte Gulfi in our teenage years. Salvatore was very charming, good looking and very popular with lots of friends. Giovanna fell in love with him the minute she laid eyes on him. We all know what happened next, they got married, had three amazing sons and lived a beautiful life together for 42 years. Salvatore made his presence known where he was we could be in a crowded mall with thousands of people and we all know where Salvatore was, he talked to everyone and everybody was his friend instantly. Salvatore is the most generous man I know, he will give you the shirt off his back if you asked. Always ready for adventures willing to do anything you ask. There is millions of things that will remind me of him every day, so there will never be a day that he will not be on our minds and daily life.
We love you, a piece of our heart ❤️ is missing.

Sal, you left us too soon, you’ll be missed. I have a whole bucket list we were suppose to share. I lost a kind, generous, out going, cheerful friend. I did not lose a dear brother in-law. I lose a dear, warm brother, bring to the surface from the deep same grief and sorrow I felt when I lost my brother Simone. When it’s my turn I’ll bring the bucket list with me to continue were we left off. Until that time you’ll always live in my memory enjoying the fun times we had bring our families together.

He always knew how to make everyone smile and brighten the room which can’t be shown any clearer than in our pictures we are all sharing... he was always quick to make a joke that most the time other people outside of us didn’t get.. I will miss these times but he will continue to live through us in our memories and through his influence on all our lives.
