Who is a true friend?
A person you meet the very first time and a special bond is formed.
One who will choose you and tell you that they did because they feel the goodness of your soul.
A true friend whether near or far, or how much time has past will always send a “hello, how have you been?” message.
Those past special memories, created between you and your true friend will always put a huge genuine smile on your face.
Sal Capirchio was a true friend of mine. It’s been a year, miss him dearly.
Maureen, I love you, You are a blessing in disguise, always kind and helpful to me during days of work.
I cherish all the memories of you, of Sal, of you both together.
Have peace in knowing Sal is with the Lord, waiting for you to join him in that heavenly home.
Hi Maureen. I just learned of Sal’s passing and wanted you to know just how sorry I am. He gladly gave of his time in helping me rework my resume and supported my decision to return to graduate school in public health at BU. My prayers and thoughts are with you. May Sal rest in peace.
Maureen. Sal and I first met working at Cherry Hill Manor, we discovered our combined love of magic, I kept wanting to call him but life kept getting in the way. Sorry for your loss.
My good friend, my co-worker and “commiserating companion”, my Twilight Zone documentarian with his camera, the one I sought out when I needed a balanced look at life, and a fresh laugh – Sal, you added an amazing combination of thoughtfulness, truth and child-like enthusiasm to my life. Through you the world got a lot smaller: Maureen was my classmate at CCRI. I still smile, remembering when Sal told me Mo was his wife. Coincidentally, Maureen shares my mother’s birthday and Sal, my oldest brother’s. I lost my brother Dennis in 2010. I chose Sal to help fill that void; my good friend became my older brother.
Maureen, it took this long for me to add my thoughts – I am still numb as I type these words. My prayers and love are with you. I am and will be here if you need anything.
There is a piece of music from the series Gilmore girls, a beautiful acoustic passage. I’ll forever know it as “Sal’s Theme”. It plays in my heart, every day…
I love you, Sal. See you down the road.
I’m just without words and feel almost sucker punched by the news. Too young and too soon. We should have had so many more laughs together.
The adage “why are goodbyes so hard” is an understatement in this type of moment, and when it comes to losing an original “first” friend and colleague that you started your career with. Sal and I started our careers together at Pioneer Electronics many moons ago, but as our jobs and industries changed, we never lost track of each other because of the instant bond we made there. So much success and so many funny stories and memories made together in such a small window of time that was amplified year by year.
I will miss this rascal. His smile. His honesty. His incredible New England accent! Most of all, his passion for life and family. And the love for his wife Maureen.
In the immortal words of our favorite comedian John Pinette, “Ahhh…fat boy. You go now!”
I’ll see you again buddy.
Hi Maureen,
So sorry for your loss. Sal and I were childhood buddies who grew up on Bowlet Street in Providence. We spent many of days playing hockey, football, baseball together, Sal always being the best goalie around. I had touched base with him on facebook and we talked about the good old days. Even though you don’t see someone everyday friendships go on forever. I was happy to call him a friend,
Sincerely,
Maureen , sorry to hear of Sal’s passing . I remember first meeting you at Pawtucket Memorial , realizing we both were Capirchio’s in the imaging field. Thoughts and prayers to you .
Maureen, I am so sorry for you loss. I had the privilege of serving on the Parish Council with Sal. He was a wonderful, kind and generous gentleman. I will miss his warm smile at Mass. You and Sal are in my thoughts and prayers.

Maureen,
So very sorry to hear of Sal’s passing. We have known Sal for the past 45 years and he was always a funny up beat guy with a great personality. He was a one of a kind person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you …RIP Sal
Maureen,
I don’t have adequate words to say how very sorry I am to hear of the loss of Sal. He was an extraordinary person who was beloved by many. He was gentle and kind and had a way of explaining IT in a way that was understood. He was always very patient in explaining things. I enjoyed many conversations with him when he came to fix our computers at work. He was so talented in photography and loved to see his work. He was truly a beautiful soul.
Please take comfort he is now in the arms of the Mighty Savoir.
“We are confident, to be absent from the body, we are present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8
Maureen, Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this very sad and difficult time.
My Mom and Sal’s Mom worked together in the 1940’s before she was married and since then our families were always united. I considered Sal a second brother and chose him to be my Godfather at confirmation. He was always someone you could talk to about anything and I recall him helping me with high school calculus and geometry. He had a contagious smile and was one of the kindest people I have known and as tragic as this loss is, it has brought back an ocean of amazing memories.
Maureen, So sorry for your loss. Sal was such a warm, funny person. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Maureen you and your family are in my prayers. Sal was a wonderful talented, funny person who shared with everyone. He will be missed.
Maureen, Your Sal was one the kindest men I have ever known. Seeing his smiling face at Mass was something to look forward to. He was truly a special man who will never be forgotten.
Maureen,

A great friend and classmate at Oliver hazard Perry junior high my condolences to the family I know he will be missed by all
Maureen, Anne and I just found out from Father Tim this morning of Sals passing, just shocked as so many are. We were going to talk about your trip to Alaska as I have another project up there. I cannot believe I will not hear his voice or receive a text from him again. His attention to detail was second to none and his eye for photographs in life, nature and our world really took our breath away. What a talent he had for this, he and I would talk about our health and hearts as we both had similar cardiac issues as you know. We are so saddened to hear about this and we will keep his legacy moving forward at the church with his weekly mass video link to so many of our St. Lukes family. He and you are in our prayers and always in our hearts.
Sal was one of the most outgoing, giving and kindest person I ever met. My days of associating with him through PSRI will never be forgotten.
Maureen, So sorry to hear of Sal’s sudden death, and even when we were working and having not so wonderful day he would come in and make us laugh and you forgot about that moment of the day. I miss that at the office and will always remember him with a smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most terrible time. Dolores Baranski

Dear Maureen, Like the Danforths (from whom I just got a message) I am shocked, stunned, saddened, sick at heart, so sorry for this untimely news. Sal has been such a delight going back to the days when we met at your marriage preparation! I don’t think I will ever be able to tune in to a 5:00 Mass video without breaking into tears. If my life example can be of any small consolation, please know as you grieve this gentle soul that you are not alone. Many must walk this journey lonely but not alone as we (I) pray with you and for you. You can and will go on because your love never dies. Hugs
We are just so shocked and saddened to hear of Sal’s sudden passing. He was such a special soul. He will surely be missed by so many.

Godspeed big guy! Till we meet again someday. Bob & Peg.
I’m stunned,saddened,and in shock. May you live everlasting life in God’s kingdom. Rest in peace my Ann and Hope bro.

Our heartfelt condolences, Maureen. When I heard it yesterday, it was hard to believe. The early and sudden loss of a good friend reminded me of what a Turkish poet wrote, very apt for Sal.
Please accept our deepest sympathy,
Cemal & Jan Ekin
