Salvatore

Mercadante

Salvatore "Sal" Mercadante 71 years old from Ridgefield, NJ formerly of New Egypt, NJ passed away on June 18, 2024 at home surrounded by family. Sal was a beloved son, brother, and uncle.
To know Sal was to be his friend. While living in New Egypt, NJ Sal was lovingly referred to as the Mayor because he knew everyone and was always there when someone needed him. From looking after family pets to being the quarterback for a game of football, Sal was always there to help every neighbor and child around the block.
When he relocated back to Ridgefield, NJ his kind hearted soul spread even further. Sal could be seen most days down at the Rec. Field or at the High School cheering on all of the Ridgefield teams with a smile on his face. There was not a single person in this world that Sal could not become friends with.
He was a loyal, loving Yankees and Philadelphia Eagles fan through all the wins and losses. Sal loved his horse racing and the chance to head down to the race track to watch the horses and see if he could pick a winner. We will all miss his simple facebook messages. A little note from Sal to let you know he was thinking of you.

Sal is predeceased by his parents, Giloramo and Filomena, and his older brother Anthony. He leaves behind his brother Jerome, sister Marianne Miller, and sister-in-law Judy. Sal is survived by 11 nieces and 6 nephews who will miss him.
