Sal was married for 54 years and moved to Stoneham in 1980 where he raised his family.
Sal started his career as a truck mechanic and moved into sales for International Harvester. In 2019, he retired from Liberty Chervrolet after 25 years working alongside his son.
Torre, as he was known in the hockey world, ran a successful tournament program called Hockey North for 20 years. This was a family run business that allowed him to work with his wife and children.
He was an avid boater and fly fisherman. He was a longtime member of the Riverside Yacht Club in Medford where he proudly captained the SS MICHELE CHRIS.
But anyone who knew him, knew he loved the Florida Keys. After selling in beloved slope side townhouse at Attitash in 1998, he dreamed about fishing in the warmer weather of Islamoroda. Sal spent 23 winters enjoying boating with Carol by his side. He enjoyed shark fishing and cigars off the dock with longtime friends.
Sal and Carol took annual vacation and after 55 years, visited many spectucular destinations, with their favorites being Italy and Tahiti.
Sal's biggest pride was his family. He loved his grandchildren more than anything. He enjoyed attending all their sporting events and cheering them on. He taught them all to fish and boat.
He loved when his family was all together to celebrate holidays, birthdays and other special days.
