In civilian life he spent 16 years with Guadalupe Boys homes group. Family says he loved dining out, playing pool, going to the American legion post, traveling and the Military Channel on TV.
TSgt Salazar is survived by a brother, Steve Salazar of Pasadena, sons Michael Salazar of Redlands, son Danny Salazar of Redlands and 6 grand children.
