Guardione, Salvatore

Salvatore Guardione, 55, of Canton, passed away Tuesday, September 18, at Boston Medical Center after a courageous battle with leukemia.

Born in Springfield to Ilda and Frank Guardione, he grew up in Agawam and attended Agawam High School, where he graduated as the salutatorian in 1975. Sal then attended Boston College, where he met his wife and graduated cum laude in 1979. He has been a resident of Canton since 1984, raising two children, who were the center of his life.

After leaving McDonald’s, he worked for Prudential Life and Buckler, Irwin & Graf, and finally for CAN, where he worked as a worker’s compensation claims adjuster for many years.
