My deepest and most sincere sympathies to the Salto Family. Junie, as we called him, – – short for Junior – – has been a part of most of my life. His parents and my parents were not just neighbors, but close, close friends. Junie was the chief of the Sparta Auxiliary Police Department when I served as such. He had a demeanor that could diffuse a tense situation and a good common sense head. I have and hold many fond memories of Junie.
ReplyKathy so sorry to read of your loss. Alzheimers is cruel for the memories it takes away from our loved ones. Take solace in knowing he is at peace.
