We Lost Super Sal

[JesseHuffman]

I am so very sad to report that Sal Hernandez is no longer with us on this Earth. He was a leader and a voice for safe work practices. He taught me how to trim a bearded palm tree and live to talk about it. There are NO words that can describe the pain in my heart today. Im sorry for those of you who did not get to know him.

I am sorry to hear about the loss. It's very sad. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. May I ask if it was a tree related accident?

 

[TreeCo]

Sorry to hear it.

 

[JesseHuffman]

He passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning. I the irony, a man who did such dangerous job taken by something so stupid.

I too am so sorry to hear of this loss. It sounds like he left a legacy that will benefit all.

Sal was a great guy, someone who was always ready to help. He was part of what was truly good in the industry. He was a really good Arborist and Tree Worker, a good boss, cared deeply about safety, would donate his time and equipment, and exemplified what active caring means. If you pray, offer some for his family.

[Bixler]

Sal is gone? I wish the best for his family, I can't believe we lost him. He was such an inspirational, strong willed, disciplined, funny person, with so much love in his heart, it was infectious - wont be the same without him.

[treewill]

Sal was a super guy indeed. I teched the footlock tree with him in Parramatta and it was an absolute pleasure to hang out it a big Eucalyptus all day with that man.
His positive attitude and enthusiasm remind me of the things I love most about tree people.
