Prayers and thoughts to the Family of my Uncle Dan Salvucci. I am sorry for your loss and my thoughts are filled with the memory of this wonderful man that my mother, Theresa Bright, spoke so well of throughout my childhood life. His memory is hallmarked by his goodness and strength that resonated all the way to his west coast extended family.

Dan was "one of a kind", a true devoted family man and friend to all. He had those "Popeye" arms and strong handshake that certainly showed his strength not only in muscles but of his character. He will be missed but as we all know ... he is with his angel Dot and now together again, they can watch over their precious family. Our sympathies go out to the whole family and our dearest friends Dick and Marg Salvucci and their children.

My heart is heavy upon hearing of the loss of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family during this difficult time. I will cherish my conversation with uncle Danny several months ago reminding him how much he was loved and cherished by his sister, Theresa Bright and family. A nice, funny, hard working and immensely dedicated, proud family man. He was truly blessed to have such caring and loving children. May you feel embraced by the love and thoughts being sent your way.

Sorry for your loss we will always remember the wonderful man your dad was. I am sorry I didn't stop by a couple of weeks ago. However I didn't think it would be right to just stop by.

"I was unable to attend the services for Dan and I want the family to know how much I enjoyed the times we met and had had very enjoyable conversations. It seemed that many of these times were at the grocery store where I learned of his addition to oat meal which he had for breakfast every day. He indicated that enough at home in case their was a shortage. His always had a smile and a story to share which I found delightful. I shall miss my encounters with Dan, but know that he has left a wonderful legacy of a life well lived. My deepest sympathy to the family."
