After retirement, Sal and his beloved wife Natalie embraced life to the fullest, traveling the world together with family and friends. Their adventures took them across the United States to Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, the Caribbean, and throughout Europe.

Beyond his badge Sal will be remembered for his strength, integrity, his wit, keen sense of humor, and his unwavering love for his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Natalie Enteado; his sons, Keith Enteado and wife Theresa, & Craig Enteado and wife Courtney. Sal also cherished time with his granddaughters, Grace & Mackenzie, who brought immense joy to his life. He was predeceased by his parents, Leonel and Mary Enteado, and his brother, Avelino Enteado.

Sal’s service to his country and community will be honored at a future date when he is laid to rest at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida.

Sal Enteado’s legacy of service, love, and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. May he rest in eternal peace.
