  13. Our condolences to the Salvatore family and friends.

    We had the pleasure of meeting John and Maria through our very good friend and brother Rob a number of years ago, and the memories are still quite vivid of the beautiful day we experienced . We had a traditional Italian feast with fresh produced grown and tendered by John from his orchards and gardens. I remember walking the fields and being blown away, not just from John’s enthusiasm and passion for his amazing food bowl, but also how proud he was to share his love and passion with his family and friends.
    The gardens gave back what he gave to them❤️.
    May he now continue his love for food and family as we cherish and remember such a wonderful man.
    Love Frances, Volkan, Valentino, Benita and the MTTM crew ❤️
