Comments from classmates who attended.
Anne Silverman: Saturday May 14, 2011. Had a Memorial for Tony Salvadore at the Pearl River Library and dedication of Tree and plaque in remembrance of deceased members of Class of 1958,¬İin the Park where our old Pearl River School was.
Tom O'Brien: The day's events exceeded expectations. Everone who attended was deeply touched. Particularly Tony's family.
Gene Cooper: It really was a special day with Tony's family coming in from Atlanta, New Hampshire, Maine, west coast and Charlotte (his wife, Nancy). The dedication to our deceased classmates was also a touching ceremony.

I would like to pass on my heartfelt gratitude and profound appreciation to your classmates of the Class of 1958 for the work they did in tribute to Tony at his memorial in Pearl River. Listening to their reflections on his life gave me even more of a sense of what a caring amazing man he was. I am sure he was smiling down on us.
Fondly,
Nancy Salvadore
