Sal loved spending time with his family and keeping their traditions going. He created many traditions that will be kept alive always, especially the special Christmas ones. He enjoyed golfing, watching soccer games, Formula 1 races and driving his car. Sal loved vacationing with his wife, family, and friends as well as spending time at his house in Florida and visiting Aruba. Family time was the most important to him. He loved Sunday dinners at his sister's house, sleepovers with his granddaughters, visiting Italy each year and making memories with all the people who meant so very much to him.

Sal took great pride in being involved in his children and grandchildren's lives. He coached his children's sports when they were younger and was always there to show his support no matter what. Sal was very proud of his children and supported them always. One of his greatest pleasures was being with his wife and always holding her hand.
