Salvador F. Tedesco “Chicho”, age 88 died peacefully on Friday, December 14, 2012.
Sal was born in Cordoba, Argentina, the youngest of four children to Francisco and Antonia Tedesco, he lived there from 1924 until 1968.
Following his service in the Argentinian Army, Sal met his beautiful wife Yolanda Flores. They were married on April 28, 1948 at LaMerced Iglesia in Cordoba City. Last April they celebrated 64 blessed years of marriage! As a young, newly married couple, they enjoyed love and working in their newly acquired family business LaSuisa Pizzaria in Cordoba City. They ran the business for eighteen years but Sal wanted more for his family which now included his son Bernie. He emigrated to the United States in 1968 and settled in Paterson. Soon, like so many other residents of Paterson, he found good work, a good living and a good career in the many textile mills which were abundant in the silk city. Once settled, Yolanda and Bernie joined him from Argentina in 1971. During his time in Paterson, Sal liked to hang out with his buddies at The Roma Italian Club on Cianci Street in Paterson. He enjoyed a long career of 17 years as a textile worker until retiring in 1985. During those years the family moved from Paterson to Clifton.
Sal’s son Bernie and wife Amy blessed their parents with two grandchildren: Robert and Gabriella. It became Sal’s new job after retirement, each morning, to arrive at Robert and Gabriella’s home to care for them while their parents went to work. Those kids were everything to Sal and every facet of taking care of them was a pleasure! He and Yolanda fed them, helped them dress and took them to school every day. In the afternoons, they picked them up and watched them until Bernie and Amy returned home for the evening.
After their grandchildren were school-age, Sal and Yolanda decided to move back to Cordoba, Argentina. They enjoyed the company of extended family in their homeland and the warm beautiful weather. Yolanda enjoyed her time out with family and friends while Sal chose to stay home and listen to classical music while enjoying his other artistic passion—creating drawings, sketching and etchings. He derived drawing inspiration mostly from that which was sacred. Some of his favorite creations included an etching of David and Goliath and one with Jesus and his disciples at the last supper. While living in Argentina, Sal and Yolanda always returned to the USA for a couple of months in the summer. They stayed with Bernie and Amy and their grandchildren and, all together, they created many wonderful memories vacationing in Ocean City, Maryland and down the shore in Wildwood. The days at the shore consisted of time on the beach followed by one of Sal’s favorite pastimes—dinner, possibly followed by an evening on the boardwalk or just relaxing on their balcony. In addition to vacation at the beach, Sal enjoyed cheering for Robert and Gabriella’s at their Wayne Valley High School soccer games or going to local restaurants for dinner. Eventually, Sal and Yolanda moved permanently back to the United States and settled in Wayne.
Sal was a deeply spiritual man who attended Mass every Sunday. In later years it became difficult for him to get there on his own. Thanks to his good friends and neighbors Bunny and Bob, he had a guaranteed ride to Mass every Sunday. So much did he love church that his family described Sunday morning as Sal’s happiest time of the week! What a comfort to know that Sal is now with his dear Lord.
Surviving is Sal’s beloved wife Yolanda, his dear son Bernie and wife Amy of Wayne, and his adored grandchildren Robert and Gabriella. He was predeceased by one brother and two sisters.
