I’m so sad to lose my handsome uncle before I had the chance to visit him again at Christmas. I have so many fond memories spending time with all of you at the house on Murphy Lake growing up. I’m sure my dad was there to greet Bob and welcome him into Heaven with a hug and a funny story or two. I can picture them now!
Please know that I’m keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you my heartfelt condolences.
Love, Michelle
Our deepest sympathy on the passing of our beloved family dentist and friend. Always there when we needed him. RIP Dr. De Salvo
My sincere condolences upon the loss of a great man and Dentist. I was a patient in Elmwood Park and because of Bob, I also went to Loyola Dental School and became a Dentist, Class of 1962. When practicing for the State Boards, he would allow me to use his lab in the office. I too will miss him.
Dr. DeSalvo was my dentist from my elementary school days until after I married. Sue was my hygienist in the years before her father retired. I remember him as a genial, kind, and patient professional. I know his family will miss his good cheer and kindness. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
