Daddy, we love you dearly. You loved Mom and all of us and gave us a wonderful life. Our home was always open to friends and family and we all enjoyed many happy holidays and Saturday night dinners that you and Mom lovingly planned each week. The Salario house was truly the house “in the middle of the street” where all the action was and neighborhood kids were welcome. Thank you for giving us the memories and the strength that your character provided. Daddy, there will always be a void without your presence…..”You Can Bet Your Life” Family will receive friends from 9:30 am – 11 am, Thursday, August 24th, at Boza and Roel Funeral Home, 4730 N Armenia Ave. A graveside service at Florida National will be private.
