A great husband, father, grandfather and friend passed away in his 86th year on Saturday, October 12, 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Salvatore Farfaglia was born to James (Castiglione di Sicilia, Sicily) and Angelina Farfaglia (Hamilton, NJ) in Stamford, Connecticut on November 22, 1933. Sal was married to Eleanor (Ellile) Rinella for 65 years. It was an adventurous marriage that brought forth four children (including a priest and a nun), six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren (and one more on the way), two restaurants, thirteen rental apartment houses, many years of courageous and vocal conservative political activism, and a lifetime of living, loving and defending the Catholic faith. While raising his family in Ridgefield, Connecticut, Sal was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus, and later of Our Lady of the Rosary chapel in Brewster, NY. Sal and Ellie were devoted volunteers to the Holy Innocents Elementary School that existed in Ridgefield during the early 70’s. Sal was also the co-founder and vice-president of the Ridgefield Taxpayers League.
