Dr. Salvatore J Termini, Jr.
April 30, 1964-December 27, 2024
Sal Termini 60, of Chicago Illinois passed away suddenly in Connecticut, while visiting family. Sal was born in the Bronx, to the late Salvatore and Louise Termini. He attended St. Anthony School and later Cardinal Spellman High School in the Bronx. He completed High School at Jesuit High School in Dallas when the family relocated to Texas. Sal then went on the University of Chicago where he graduated with honors in Chemistry. Sal was a board certified oral and facial surgeon in Chicago for over 30 years. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery at Northwestern University and completed his residency at Cook County Hospital and Glenbrook Hospital. Following his residency, he spent some years as an attending, training residents at the Cook County Hospital Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program where he eventually became the program director. He took great pride in educating the next generation of surgeons and lectured widely throughout the Chicago area and nationally.
Sal was a devoted son to his parents, taking care of them throughout their long lives. He was a loving brother to John (Laurel) and Lou (Lorraine). Sal was a doting uncle to Karlsen, Matthew, Steven, and Elizabeth, also his goddaughter. His funny stories and texts provided infinite amusement and were something all looked forward to. Sal had a wicked sense of humor, laughing at the absurdities of life. Sal was also a supportive friend and colleague. He will be missed dearly by all who knew him, who can be comforted by the fact that Sal is now with his beloved parents whom he loved so unconditionally.

So my TLM Bishop Sebastian in LA is asking me to pray for Sal, so let´s do it! There´s a reason something told me to look him up after 42 years.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescat in pace.

My condolences to his family! Sal and I worked together on the school newspaper at Jesuit. I can certainly attest to his sense of humor.

I´m so deeply sorry to read of Sal´s passing. I´ve been his hair stylist for a few years and he always made my day brighter. He had such a way of telling jokes. Very subtle but hilarious. I´m relieved to hear he was home with family when the unfortunate happened. I will truly miss him

My sincere condolences to the Termini Family. Sal was one of a kind. A very special friend for many years. Sal was such a helpful, kind and caring man. Sal was my classmate in dental school and was always willing to offer help and support. I admired his intellect as well as his work ethic along with his devotion to Christ and the Blessed Mother. He will be missed. Glad I had the opportunity to talk and text with him before Christmas.Thoughts and Prayers with family.

So very sorry to hear of Sal's passing. Sal and I were classmates at Dallas Jesuit, but we never connected there. We were reacquainted on social media many years later, and Sal reached out to me in 2021 to ask for assistance in helping his mother find the best of care in Dallas. We exchanged communications during the ensuing years and through his posts, comments, and our occasional personal exchanges, I was able to form a fairly clear picture of Sal. Sal cared deeply about the things that matter the most: his God, his family, his heritage and traditions, learning, teaching, and caring for others. He was a brilliant, kind, accomplished servant leader and I am glad I was able to connect with him over the last 5 years. May God bless you Sal - you will be missed.

Hey, Sal. It feels like yesterday we were giving each other the business on the Guadalupe River rafting trip. I´m glad you were in my life, and I wish I´d known you better. May God be good to you, my friend.

I am shattered. Decades ago, Sal and I shared the transplant experience to Dallas Jesuit when our parents moved along with American Airlines. Sal was brilliant, witty, caring, and a gentleman. And I use the definition of gentleman derived from some classic movie, in which it is defined as someone who seeks to make others feel welcome and at ease. Although our professional lives sent us to the far ends of the country, we had renewed contact through social media more recently, for which I am eternally grateful. While Sal had grown as a man in all the ways that are good, our interactions retained the quirky and simultaneously enlightening verve of our shared youth. Please express my love and sympathy with the Termini family, friends, and community.

This is Jack Ahern, Sal's neighbor, friend and Church buddy. Sal is still loved, but very much missed. A dear friend. My thoughts and prayers are with Sal and his loved ones. Let us all love another and not be afraid to show how much we appreciate our dear friends and family while we still have them. Sal cared far more than many knew about his neighbors and patients. The picture is from a meal I shared with Sal at Tufanos, a neighborhood Italian restaurant.

Sal was my neighbor on May Street in Chicago. My wife, Kathy, and I used to invite him many time to celebrate this and that. We enjoyed his company amd particularly his very unusual and funny wit. I also enjoyed the figs from his tree which he always wrapped up for rhe winter. We will miss his humor and presence.

Sincerest condolences. Sal and I worked together for 14+ years. We were friends outside of work, too. We always talked about his brothers and nephews and niece. He loved you all. We had dinner at his fav Chinatown restaurant this past summer. Sal was a good friend. He was a good man. I am so sad that he´s gone. Donna Lenkiewicz

I can't believe you're gone. I'm in shock. We were just messaging each other on FB last months. You were a kind caring person. I feel honored to have worked for you at OPDS. You will be missed.
