Mr. Salvatore Aiello, age 69, passed away on April 24, 2020 at the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence, RI.
Sal was born in Herkimer NY, on September 12, 1950, son of the late Angelo and Antoinette Fragale Aiello. He was blessed with a daughter, Kelly, son-in-law Michael Risley and three grandchildren; Jax F., Ty S. and Kaz F. Risley..as well as two step-grandchildren, Connor Hudon and Myla Risley.
He grew up in Frankfort, NY where he attended High School, then on to college to earn his Bachelors degree in Business. Sal lived in Vermont for a short time before moving to New Hampshire to start his career in finance.
He worked for Dartmouth College for many years before transferring to Brown University, in Providence RI. Sal was at Brown for several years becoming the Bursar. He retired in 2019 to travel, and spend more time with his daughter and grandchildren. His love of music was infectious, He loved playing his bass guitar, and would sit down in front of any piano he could! He loved to perform on stage, was an avid dancer and was even entertaining the idea of competing. He was a member of several bands, including the most recent, Ghost Train. Sal always enjoyed riding motorcycles, walking beside the ocean, and most of all, being with his grandchildren! He was very hands on, fun and so loving. Sal was also a skilled carpenter, who loved to utilize those skills in his spare time.
Sal was survived by his siblings, Angelo Aiello, and Cathy Mary Marotta. His nieces and nephew; Adrienne Aiello, Alexis (Ryan) Evans, Matthew (Kristi) Marrotta: three great nephews, Joseph, Brady, Reid Evans, and several cousins. He was pre-deceased by his brother Joseph Aiello, his brother-in-law Reid Marrotta, and his ex-wife, Kathleen (Hall) Wizner.
Salvatore was catholic and was truly non-judge mental and excepting. He will always be remembered for his honesty, wittiness and sincerity. He was selfless, loving and kind, and could always be counted on.

Our sincere condolences to Kelly and her family. Sal was not only Jim’s Brother in law but also a great friend. Jim sold Sal one of his many motorcycles, we didn’t get to see Sal much since we moved to FL. But he was a great friend. He will be missed.
Kelly,
My condolences go out to you and your entire family. I worked with Sal in the Bursar’s office at Brown University. He hired me in 2015. On my first day he had me laughing and having fun within the first hour! The rest is history. We become good friends and kept in touch even after I left the Bursar office and after his retirement. We talked about Italy a lot. He gave me so many good tips for my trip last year. He was one of the best people I have met in my life. I could go on and on about how great he was and how blessed I am to have known him. I am extremely saddened and heartbroken. He will be missed so dearly.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sal was my boss at Brown and could not have been a better one.
Rest in Peace, Sal. You will always be remembered for your kindness and sense of humor????
Kathy and family, My deepest sympathies on Sal’s passing. Losing a sibling is a very difficult time made even more so during these challenging days. God Bless.
It is with much sadness that I recently learned of the passing of Sal. I had worked with Sal at Brown University since he first started until I retired in 2017. He was always a hard working and trusted friend and colleague. My deepest condolences to his family. I’m sure he is deeply missed.
Kelly,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I met Sal as a new member of the Bursar’s Group and he made me feel so welcome. He was always caring and had a great sense of humor. He will be sorely missed, but know that he positively impacted so many people and I am honored to have known such a wonderful individual.
