Among his many accomplishments, Sal built three of his homes in which he and his family lived.
In his retirement years, he spent several winters in Arizona, where he was active with the Gilbert Senior Center. He was a long-term member of the Modern Maturity Center in Dover, and participated in many of the activities they offer, including singing with the Modern Melody Makers. He also enjoyed carpentry, dancing and painting.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Dorothy (Kilgore) Madrechesia; his sisters, Angelina DiTomo and Jeannette Tarlow; and his brother Risley Madi.
