Salvatore A. Lentine

Salvatore A. Lentine, age 76 years, of Raritan Township, NJ, died Sunday, February 1, 2015, in Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, Florida, surrounded by his family. Born in Trenton, NJ, son of the late Frank and Lillie Billera Lentine, he had resided in Raritan Township most of his life and was a member of Flemington High School's last graduating in 1956. After high school he worked at Flemington Block & Supply founded by his father, and left as President in 1974 to found his own concrete business. In later years, he was in the commercial construction business and also obtained two US patents of marine devices. He is survived by his beloved wife of forty-eight years, Helen (Cahalan) Lentine, originally of High Bridge, NJ; his daughter, Maria Eggett and his son-in-law, Devin Eggett of Veazie, ME, and his son, Frank and his daughter-in-law, Joanna Lentine of Raritan Township, NJ. He was especially fond of his five grandchildren, Elizabeth, Tory, Frankie and Emma Lentine of Raritan Township, NJ and Fallon of Veazie, ME. Sal loved to explore and in his travels often found items for his numerous collections of antique cars, boats, outboard motors, golf carts, and antique farm tractors. He loved visiting other countries, states and towns and enjoyed his time summering in Maine, wintering in Florida, and spending time in Maryland when he wasn't in Flemington. He was a member of the Italian-American Club, the Antique Outboard Club of America, the Owls Head Transportation Museum , and several other organizations. He previously held a pilot's license and was never found far from a car, boat, plane or tractor. Sal will be missed most for his ready smile, generous spirit, and love of life. He never missed an opportunity to make a friend or have a new experience. He was truly one of a kind.
