So sorry to hear of your loss Jackie. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. Sal was a great guy - I worked with him for several years and he was always very kind more than willing to help you with anything.

I was sad to hear of the passing of Sal Yorks. I worked for a a sales distribution company called Cabletel and we carried the Maxnavox line. I met Sal during training sessions that Magnavox held both in the US and Canada. Sal was a great teacher, he took his time with you if you did not understand something he would take the extra time to make sure you got it. He always had a warm and smiling face for everyone at the SCTE trade shows where I would often meet up with him. Our heart felt condolences go out to all his family and friends, I know he will truly be missed. - Neil Carter, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

Sorry to ear about Salvatore death. I worked with Sal. for many year as I was the director of CATV system for the province of Quebec. I remember him as a very knowledgeable Eng. that had a great passion for the CATV world. Again sorry to see him gone. Salutations. Andy Lamarre. Catv Expert, Montreal, Canada.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
