At the very moment I met Mr. Sal (I was probably 11) he was a friend, not just my buddy's dad. The very first adult I can say that about. That's the kind of person he was. Very sorry for your/our loss. With love always, Mike
To my fellow classmate, track team and glee club member - May God bless and keep you. I still remember winning the Meet of Champions and afterward going to my house, putting on tuxedos and heading to the Jr/Sr Prom. What a time that was! Your friend, Leo Wille, Jr.
Salvador Anthony Cangiamilla Jr, my big brother. You were there for me throughout my life, not only as a brother, but as a friend. Both you and Vince were the best brothers a little sister could have.You were a role model of what a Dad should be, to my Karen. I wish you could stay with us forever, but I know that you have to go. I will miss you dearly, my big brother. May you rest in eternal peace in heaven. As we always ended our conversations, I LOVE YOU.
Your little sister,
JoAnn Cangiamilla Govier
My Uncle Sal has always shown me what a proper father should be. He was a very wise man who taught me so many things. He insisted that I couldn’t go wrong in life, if I followed these rules:
1. Always figure out a way to be on his team when playing Trivial Pursuit–you
would be guaranteed a win.
2. People may think we talk too loudly, but we're not YELLING we're
ITALIAN!!!!!
3. NFL football referees are NEVER correct.
4. Always wipe your mouth on your napkin…not your sleeve.
5. Never leave the house without hugging everyone…at least twice.
6. There is NOTHING more important than family.
I will be sad and miss you dearly, but I am grateful for the time we had together.
Love,
Your “favorite niece” on the “Cangiamilla Side” of the family—Karen Govier
Love and laughter we shared with him for over 60 years
