Sal, I always looked up to you. Strong and kind.  I remember how great you were with your hands. I learned a lot from you. I was there helping you pour the foundation of your home. I was amazed you could build a home,  later in life you took the time to talk to me and my kids at Carrow’s, having walked to care and you came back in the restaurant to meet my boys.  You have a wonderful family. I will miss you. Rest In Peace.

Thank you papa for teaching me life lessons and thank you for telling me all of your stories of how strong you were when you were young. But I remember how we would ride the golf cart and always go to the backyard and watch the sun go down. I love you papa I hope you are doing well up there 

Our condolences to the family and friends who knew Sal best.  
Sal was initiated into Operating Engineers Local 3 in 1966, had over 55 years of service and was an Honorary Member.
We thank him for all his years of service. May he rest in peace

Well Nati, like I said before , I couldn’t have asked for a better father-in-law, you & Sal have always been great to all of us, he has taught us so many things, one course is having respect for others, like Steven said to Steve and I “ I remember how grandpa would always get up from  his chair and give it up to anyone who came to visit , welcoming them with open arms, and always asking us how we are doing and how work is going”. I have learned a lot from him, and how important it was to get up early to start your day, with a positive out look on life .. God has given him peace , and may god continue to bless you and guide you Nati . Love Nancy

Sal / Dad, My Father my lifelong Hero. On this earth I saw you do some of the most amazing things. You showed me so many things , so many lessons taught by example. Lessons I have carried with me through life. Because of you I am who I am and because of you I understand, Life is a gift. I love you Dad

Sal was an amazing man. He was such a caring man. He had his own health issues, but that never stopped him from working hard all the time and caring for his family and his neighbors and friends. He always kept an eye out for anything happening in the neighborhood. He was truly admirable. Rest in peace, Sal. 

So sorry for your loss,  he will be missed! Praying for you and your family 🙏

Salvador Puente aka. My dad will be one of my biggest and only role model ever. Thank you for everything dad. I appreciate you dearly and will always try to follow your steps as much as I can. 

Nati,
I’m so sorry to read of Sal’s passing.  I know how deeply you love him.  It’s hard to find the perfect words to ease your pain.  Big BIG hugs to you. Xx.   I pray God to keep you in his loving grace during this difficult time.  

Take care of yourself,
Lisa - from Dr. Shute’s office ❤️

Rest in peace my friend! I have so many great memories from my younger days with you and your family. Sal is a big part of who I am today and will never forget your mentoring and care you showed me. When I was 16, and working with him up and down the state and even in Colorado he told me many times "Marcos I am going to make a man out of you". I can only hope to be half the man Sal was! My deepest condolences to the Family :(
Mark
