Simply Cremation October 2023
Salvatore Quinto Frastaci, 87, passed away peacefully at home on October 6, 
2023, surrounded by his family. Salvatore was a first generation Italian-
American, born in the house his father, Fortunato, built in Brewster, Ohio, 
after immigrating to the United States in 1920 to work for the railroad company. 
"Salvatore" means "savior" and he truly embodied this with his open heart and 
selfless help offered to anyone whose path he crossed. His Italian family always 
called him “Quinto” as he was the fifth (and youngest) born in his family. 
Quinto had an adventurous spirit, always enjoying the exploration of something 
new. He served in the Army for three years where he earned the nickname Sam when 
his sergeant could not pronounce his hearty Italian name. Sam then took a job 
with Paige Communications so he could continue to travel the world and 
experience the culture and community that he cherished so much. It was while 
working in Turkey that he met the love of his life, Tuzim Keresteci, marrying 
her at the Istanbul Hilton in April 1968. Together they raised three beautiful 
daughters - Rose (Mike), Amber (Chris), and Mona along with six grandchildren - 
Dana (Joe), Sean, Ashley, Kaitlyn (Dakota), Allison, and Morgan. Sam lived a 
humble life full of love, always focused on his family and his faith while 
inspiring the same in those he met. He would remind us to ‘always be gentle’ and 
consistently put the needs of others ahead of self. No one was a stranger to 
Sam! God placed in Sam’s heart a very special connection with animals and a call 
to serve the marginalized in our community. No one fell outside the mantle of 
Sam’s prayers and unconditional love. Our wonderful father’s spirit lives on in 
each of our hearts and for that we are grateful!
