Sorry to hear this news.  Sal was a great contribution to the quarterly dialogue.

I really appreciated what he called his final statement in the Nov 15th 2012 CC (at 39:54), where he says.....

"All the people I talk to that own the stock have a problem [which is] to report at year end the value of their holdings and they're sweating it out, and I hope that is conveyed to the Prime Minister and the NEC as to what is going on here in New York"

I hope this gets done by year end for Sal!

I thought about that tday too JT.  That quote is for some reason omitted from the CC transcript on SA.  That's  the last we will ever hear from Sal.

I am saddened to hear this news JFT.  I never knew Sal, other than to hear him on the CC.  His voice was one of those types that always sounded familiar and comforting, kinda like you would hear from your grandfather.  The IOC family grieves the loss of another kindred spirit.
