Jack J. Salvo

Jack J. Salvo

On Thursday, November 6, 2025, Jack J. Salvo, age 81, of Friendship, Wisconsin, went to heaven to dance away eternity with his beloved wife, Kathy.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Friendship, Wisconsin. Father David Bruener will officiate. Interment will follow at St. Leo Catholic Cemetery in Friendship. Visitation will be held at the church on Tuesday from 1:00 p.m. until the time of Mass.

Jack was born on January 9, 1944, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Joseph and Dorothy (Grotkiewicz) Salvo. On October 12, 1963, he married Kathy Dineen in Milwaukee, and together they shared a beautiful life centered around faith, family, and hard work.

Jack co-founded Salvo’s Produce Store & Service Station in Franklin, Wisconsin, where he and Kathy proudly raised their three children—Dottie, Joe, and Dawn. After 35 years, they began a new chapter in Adams-Friendship, where Jack continued to make lasting friendships and meaningful connections within the community.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Dorothy; his beloved wife, Kathy; his son-in-law, Paul; and his brother-in-law, Clyde.

He is survived by his children, Dottie, Joe (Tammy), and Dawn; grandchildren, Stephanie (John), Tony (Alexis), Joey, and Heather; siblings, Jerry (Kitty), Joe (Mary), Lynn (John), and Diane (Frank), his dear friend Dennis; his extended Bob’s K-Market and Ace families; and many other relatives and friends who will miss his humor, warmth, and kind spirit.
