Además, Salvador se caracterizó por ser un tío ejemplar, amoroso, alegre y buen consejero, siempre transmitía cosas positivas y de unidad entre la familia cercana y lejana a pesar de la distancia. Siempre se ganó el cariño de sus sobrinos; Liseth, Mercy, Olga, Manuel, Karina, Raquel, Danilo, Rafael, Roberto, Tatiana, Patricia, Victor y Mauricio,  por su carisma especial los más pequeños, Chambita, Anita, Nestor y Jose Mario, lo vieron siempre como un abuelo por el amor que les brindaba .

Disfrutaba de los días soleados, le encantaba cocinar y convivir en familia cada momento que podía, disfrutaba hacer viajes en familia a la playa, o a algún lago, le fascinaba leer libros y escuchar música, era un hombre divertido con sentido del humor único, donde el estaba siempre había sonrisas, era un buen contador de chistes; y aún, muchas de sus anécdotas las volvía graciosas e interesantes era solamente una persona que no te cansabas de escuchar, el tiempo hacia falta para escucharle, pues todo era alegría oirle hablar de su familia y de todo el amor que él tenía para nosotros, a la vez, era un hombre serio y respetuoso, era frágil y sentimental, nunca se quedaba con las ganas de decirle a una persona las verdades o lo que le incomodaba se los decía en su cara, sin importar quien fuera; y no lo hacía por entablar una pelea, sino, con el propósito de aclarar y solucionar las cosas.

En su compañía se podía hablar cualquier tipo de temas, ya sea de religión, política, deportes, películas, carros, conocía de historia salvadoreña así como la de varios países.
