Sorry I missed your birthday, pal.
Still have your picture on my fridge so we get to talk often but miss you telling me, "You almost had it, you just needed to..."
D said it, LEGENDARY status for Sal is spot on.
Miss you and many of our great members... Ray, Brian, George, I sure hope you're fishing beside our pal, Sal.
My best,
Dom

Wow ...I'm deeply saddened to find this news about Sal ....he helped me lots with his knowledge. So sad

RIP Sal

I came back here to solve a problem but it's irrelevant. Been years maybe a decade since I been on this Web site.

10 or so years ago Sal sent me a YTS kit for free because I mentioned I wanted to build one for a panguero friend in Baja. That YTS was a big deal to Joaquin and has since caught many thousands of yellowtail and tuna (single ar dog, sorry Sal) . I am quite grateful I had the chance to know the bit of Sal he shared with me, his patience, his knowledge, his generosity, his wisdom. Thank you Sal.

4 years now, Crew.... I had a texting session with Cathy (Sal's wife 2 days ago) and she was very happy to hear that Sal was not forgotten. I told her that he is mentioned often and in good standing, missed by all that knew him.
I know I miss that guy a bunch...
We know you're up there with our other angels keeping the rails warm for the rest of us.
Rest easy my Pal Sal,
Dom

Thanks Dom - 'tis nice to reflect again.
Always missed, never forgotten.
Hard to believe it's been four years though.
Hope you're keeping well.
All the best, Justin

Amen.
I think about Sal every time I hold a reel.
The man taught me everything.
Pay it Forward.
I miss you Buddy,
Daron

I looked at reels Sal had his specific mark on this morning- 501 with green spool he traded me, sporting his custom green / orange knob that showed up one day, and the narrowed 200 I built with 29L-100 spool Sal gave me at his house when they were unobtanium. I'm packing now for OBX in the morning, and Imma chuck a Magpower just for him.

Salut, my friend. You are sorely missed.
