Salvatore Dominic Crisci Obituary

AUGUSTA-Salvatore Dominic Crisci of Augusta, Maine passed away Sunday, September 5th, 2021 at the age of 78 in Augusta, Maine due to complications from Pancreatic Cancer. Sal Crisci was born in New Haven, Connecticut to Dominic and Margaret (DeMarzo) Crisci. He attended the University Hart School of Music. Was a band leader of the Staccato Five and was called “Satch”. He served in the Army National Guard and was Honorably discharged in 1968. His greatest love was his family, his wife Lenann of 56 years, (daughter of Constanzio Belmonte and Rosamand Martone); his children, son, Brent Joseph Crisci, and daughters, Lynn Julian Crisci and Brien Rose Crisci, as well as his baby, Elena Rose (his toy Poodle). Sal taught and played music in Connecticut and moved to Maine in 1978 where he continued to teach music. Then worked for 28 years as a social worker in Maine. He had an amazing rapport with children serving as a cub master, martial arts teacher, having attained his Black Belt in 1996 at United Martial Arts Academies training and teaching for over 25 years. He was very proud of his 100 gallon donation mark receiving a special Gold Medal Pin award from the Red Cross. A devout Catholic, he served St. Michael’s Parish as a Lector for many years. His nickname “Captain Calzone” came from a family business started in the early 80’s serving Italian style fried dough and special Crisci Calzones. It grew and expanded over the years to include a restaurant run by his wife Lenann called La Casa and hundreds of fairs, concerts and venues served by the infamous red, white and blue food trailer. The entire family worked in the food truck and trailer over the years bringing smiles to faces of the young and old alike. Sal enjoyed traveling with his wife and family. His favorite spot was the island of Aruba, where he visited for over 30 years, inviting family and friends to share in his island paradise. He is also survived by grandchildren, Alexander Crisci-Hersom, Savannah Brann Crisci, and J.J. Kilduff Crisci; his sister, Marie Crisci Burleigh; daughter-in-law, Rebecca Yohn Crisci, and son-in-laws, Doug Julian and David Iverson. Sal had an inspiring sense of humor and brought smiles to everyone he encountered. His positivity and indomitable spirit left an impact on anyone that crossed his path. He was a very special husband, father, friend, teacher, mentor and human being and will be severely missed by innumerable folks. A visitation will be held on Monday, September 13th from 2:30pm to 4:30pm and 6:30pm to 8:00pm at Plummer Funeral Home, 16 Pleasant St., Augusta. A rosary service will be held by the Knights of Columbus beginning at 7:30pm.
