Our prayers are with you! We will miss Grandpa and his fun stories. We’ll miss playing blitz with him and enjoying his company. We’ll miss him having conversations with everyone he meets and asking them if they’re Italian. We will miss him! We love you Grandma and are praying for you!!
Rich and Mrs. Palmieri, So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Palmieri. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mrs. Palmieri, I’m so sorry for your loss. Be strong and get well soon God Bless you. Jeff and Susan Yeaman
Good neighbors are hide to find, but even harder to keep as a good friend after they move away from the neighborhood. Mr. Palmieri was one of those kinds of people and the McAtee family was lucky enough to have been considered his friends. My heart goes out to your whole family, Mrs. Palmieri, Toni, Tina and Rich. Mr. Palmieri will be remembered forever by me as my father’s “Godfather”, he was friend enough to stand up for dad when he converted to catholicism. I will continue to pray for all of you and your families. Perhaps Mr. Palmieri should have worked for State Farm……”Like a good neighbor…”. God Bless You. Ruthie
You have my sincere sympathy. God bless you all Nellie
Sal was fun loving, gregarious man and I will miss his, “June, your looking good” greeting. Have a peaceful journey home, Sal!
God Bless Salvatore… May your grief be short and your happy, wonderful memories last a lifetime. Sorry I can’t be with you, but I’m with you in spirit. Blessings to you all.
Dear Mrs. Palmieri and family: I wish to extend my deepest and most sincere sympathy on the loss of Sal. He was always a kind man to my father over the years as they enjoyed chatting whenever out and about town. You were wonderful people of faith as I have early remembrances of you at the 10:30 Mass at Sacred Heart of Mary years ago and then at Mass at St. Paul’s when I was there in the early 90’s. God has certainly taken Sal to Himself — take comfort in that. Yours sincerely, Stan Tuchalski
Ann, I’m so deeply saddened by your loss. I have such good memories of you and Sal with my parents. What wonderful friends you all were! Sal was always so friendly and full of life. May God bless you in this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that his suffering is over and he is at peace now. Steve, Gilda, and Stephen Vasko
Rich & The Palmieri Family, I am very sorry for the loss of your father. He was a great man who always made me laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Melissa
Dear Anna, Our sincerest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of Sal. He will be sorely missed especially at 11am Mass on Sunday @ St. Paul’s, sitting in the row behind us at Mass always with a smile on his face. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Sincerely, Angela and Tim Reinard
Dear Anna, I’m sorry that Pia and I couldn’t come to Greco’s to offer condolences. He was a man of great respect and will be missed by many. God Bless You and may He give you comfort. Dom and Mariapia Pucci
I would like to express my deepest condolences for your loss. I could not attend due to my being admitted to the hospital on Sunday.
Ann, Rich and family Sal has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. So many memories both old and recent that will keep him alive in my heart and ALWAYS bring a smile to my face. My prayers are with you in this time of loss.
