Salvatore Lawrence Cilluffo

Salvatore Cilluffo, age 74, November 18, 2023. Loving son of late John and Grace Cilluffo. Survived by his loving wife Carole Cilluffo; sister Trina Cilluffo; brother John Cilluffo (Cheri), and the late Caesar Cilluffo. Amazing father to daughter Jennifer Cilluffo (Sergio); sons Adam Reinhard, Josh David Levy (Hannah), Paul Robert Levy (Katie), and John Vito Buffa (Grace). Proud Papa of Francisco, Giovanni, Haylee, Lydia, Miguel, Filippo, Salvatore and baby Sergio. Many lifelong friends and members of the Harper Woods Little League community will also miss him.

Most would describe Sal as a mentor in the community. He was someone who instilled passion into those who made connections with him and taught them what it was to love the game of baseball as much as he did. In the summers, he would spend his days in a chair behind the backstop cheering on those kids whom he coached multiple generations of as well as sitting in the back of that blue minivan passing out those tootsie rolls the kids loved so much!

As a husband, he was a rock, a humble, giving man who will always be seen as a hero. As a parent, he taught us all that it doesn't take blood to make a man your father - it takes love and guidance. These he continued to give each of his children until the day he passed away. As a papa, he loved to sing silly songs (I'm pretty sure he made up) dance goofy dances, and always make that finger pop with his mouth to get that precious smile. His memory, outstanding smile and humorous personality will forever last in our hearts and minds!
