Dear CK Fam,

It is with heavy hearts that we share some difficult news. On Sunday morning, Sal passed away after complications from the aggressive cancer he had been fighting 💔

We’ve lost a brother, dear friend, business partner, and cherished member of our family. Sal brought so much warmth to The Corner Kitchen. His smile and his genuine love for cooking touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Sal wasn’t just part of The Corner Kitchen; he helped build it from the ground up. His friendship, dedication, and passion helped shape who we are, and we simply wouldn’t be where we are today without him.

Our deepest sympathies are with his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. As we grieve this tremendous loss, we look back on the countless memories, laughs, and moments we shared with him over the years.

We will always remember Sal for the kind-hearted and generous soul he was, and we invite those whose lives he touched to share a favorite memory or story.

We’ll miss you, Sal 💛🕊️

AJ & Johnny Groppetti

We will be keeping the GoFundMe open to help his family with burial and memorial expenses. Any continue support is deeply appreciated.
