I'm so saddened to hear about SC's passing. Kate let me know, I was not even checking facebook for a month. SC was very special, sweet and caring. He was a rare and kind soul. He will always have his special place in my heart.

Love and peace to the rest of you here, -Afs

It's taken me a few days to let this sink in just to be able post my tribute to the good man, SC. And I really wanted to do it here, where I first "met" the man. I've only ever known SC as an online presence but I've known him for nearly 20 years. A man I highly respected and conversed with on FB I'm deeply saddened by the news of his passing and I didn't know how to deal with the news when it first struck. I really am heartbroken. I can only wish his family and friends the best.


So die all who betray Giuliano

I've been away from the GBB for months due primarily to family reasons and had no idea about Saul. I am just numb.

I had the pleasure of meeting Saul several times, the first being back in February, 2006. There is a thread called A Motley Crew that features that memorable GBB "sit-down" and will always stick in my mind for being a great evening, plain and simple. Saul and I were Brooklyn characters - he lived for a number of years not too far from where I lived.

I last saw him a couple of years ago when he was hospitalized. He was happy to see me and we had a good talk for around a half-hour or so. Problem was, he later told me he was on so much medication he barely remembered my visit! I tried to contact him last Summer when I found myself in the Catskill Region but only got his voicemail. I had no idea his already-bad health had taken such a turn.

I count myself lucky to have known him personally, but, even so, I wish I could have known him better. A number of people have met and become friends due to the GBB, but when people live scattered all over the place, in-person socializing becomes next-to-impossible.

I guess I'm rambling... but I am absolutely heartbroken.

R.I.P. my friend.

My dear friend, always such a comfort, always so witty, so funny. Never let on that he was sad or lonely. He was a lovely, funny, kind man who always had a hug and a ready ear.

When we first met back in NJ many years ago, some of the group had made a day trip to the track (including SC), and one of the horses had actually died. SC was recounting the tale, as only he could, getting a smile and laugh out of what would have been a sad circumstance. We told him that the last time we had been to the track, we ate dinner at one of the nicer restaurants there. We walked up to the reservations desk and they asked our last name. My husband gave it to the maitre d, who, despite the fact that we had NOT made a reservation, took us to an excellent table overlooking the start./finish line. Well, right after we had our drinks delivered, the gentleman comes over to confirm our last name, and looked rather worried. My husband even showed ID. Well, it turned out that a doctor with the same last name had made a dinner reservation and they gave us his table. He was NOT happy, but they let us keep the table. From the flapping about of all the restaurant staff, we guessed that the doctor was going to bet WAY more than we were, and was also going to ring up a much higher dinner bill. Well, SC loved that story and afterwards he always referred to my husband as "the good doctor".

Rest in peace my friend, The good doctor and Babe wish you Godspeed.

Just saw this. I am at a loss for words. Though I never knew him personally, I always respected him from afar as I watched him regulate the boards among his other contributions. I recall one time I was in a petty ongoing argument with another member and I went to him asking for advice in a private message. He gave me some really great advice that really made me look at the whole situation differently and I still think about that advice from time to time. Very wise man. May he Rest In Peace. He will forever be remembered on this site and it will not be the same without him.

I was really shocked to see this, and really hard to believe. I hope his family is doing well through this difficult time, and those that knew him well on these boards as well. He was really nice, and knowledgeable among different subjects. May he rest peace

Lately the only time I check in on this forum has been to check my tally in the contest, and just now read the news about SC. I am so sorry for his family and will miss his stern, yet needed "guidance" for all of us. It is certainly a reality check to all of us, and a reminder of just how fragile our lives are. May he rest in peace.

I just went back and read the "The Night Before Christmas, Godfather Style" and as always, it made me smile.

Just browsing around and posting a couple times today, I feel the void of not seeing SC around. 😢 RIP my friend.

Still find it hard to believe he's gone. I still expect to see him admonishing me and keeping me on the straight and narrow. And I mean that in the most sincere way. He was good people.

I know he was a stranger to most of us, but he seemed like a really good person that made a positive impact on a lot of people.

Used to be a regular here 17-18 years ago. Not sure why I decided to come back today, but I did. So sorry to hear about SC's passing. I never met him, but he was a great poster. He will be missed.

Ah man, that's sad news.

It's been a long time since I've visited this site, and then today while at work, I just randomly felt like checking in, and I see this news.

Huge condolences to his family and friends.

Saul's birthday just popped up on my Facebook and, belatedly, I learned the news of his passing.

Very moved. Brought it all back: the personalities here, the misspent hours, the avatars. SC was and is indelibly Bogart: were I to watch Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon now, I'd think of him. The IRL pics of Saul when younger — the light, that Kodachrome texture — are like something out of a John Cassavetes movie.

A consigliere for sure, wartime and otherwise.

Love to all!

It seems so strange not having SC around. I will forever think SC when I see that Bogie picture.

Hi DeNiro and Capo. How are you guys doing. I hope you are both well.
