    Please accept our condolences. He was such a kind man. We would run into him at the cementary. He visited his wife's and son's grave site each Sunday dutifully. We enjoyed talking to him at the cemetary. We learned of how caring and giving he was with his community. It came out in his chats. When we no longer seen his truck we began to worry. We are very sorry to hear of his passing. May God bless his family and friends. Sincerely, Mariaelena Lemus

    Sal, Rich, Sherry and Family. We were so sorry to read about Sal Sr. Passing. We have so many fond memories of him. All we had to mention was patio, sidewalks, etc. and there he would be with his cement truck. He even arranged for some of you to be there to help:wink:. He was a warm, kind and loving man. We can only imagine how much all of you will miss him. We are sorry that we are not able to be there this evening and the service tomorrow. Sal, we do not have your phone number. Please call us at 925 417-7579 when you have time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. George and Jo Cook
