He is predeceased by his parents, Salvatore Sorce, Sr. and Nancy Sorce. Sal started his own construction firm in 1975 following in his father's footsteps as a carpenter. He loved his work - designing, building, and renovating homes. Sal met his wife, Amelia, in 1999. They worked together every day, running and growing their business, and happily spent the rest of his days together. His work is only one aspect to his legacy.
