BUFFALO, N.Y. — Another of the 10 victims of the mass shooting at Tops on Buffalo’s East Side was remembered Tuesday.

Many from this community and beyond came for Aaron Salter Jr.’s calling hours.

“Just a good person. Good natured, good hearted individual. Plain, simple, down to earth, take care of business, loving Aaron,” said Barbara Lark, the first deputy commissioner for Buffalo Police as she looked back on the kind of person Salter was.

Aaron Salter Jr. won’t be forgotten any time soon. Not by his family. Not by his community. Not by his brothers and sisters in blue.

Lark worked with Aaron for years.

“He encourages and gives hope to our officers on the job," she said. "It just exemplifies what this job is about and unfortunately he did have to pay the ultimate sacrifice…his life.”

On May 14, when a shooter opened fire on Tops, Salter fired back.

The 55-year-old lost his life running toward danger, just like his training taught him.

“I mean in no uncertain terms, he did it and saved lives because of it,” said Joseph Gramaglia, Buffalo Police commissioner.

Those who knew him remember his heroic actions, but also his softer side.

“I can still see his smile. I can still remember the way he nodded his head to the side and some of his famous words were, ‘Is that right?’ and he’s just smiling,” recalled Lark.

People in and out of the Amigone Funeral Home looked back those better times, like when Salter refused to stop parking his RV in the police lot.

“We would fuss at him and we’d say, ‘Aaron, why are you taking up all of our parking spots?’ And he’d just smile and continue to park it every day that he worked so he didn’t listen to us,” Lark joked.

The law enforcement community came out in force to pay their respects to one of their own.

Flags and motorcycles lined the entrances to the funeral home.

While Salter was retired from the BPD, the department will make sure his sacrifice is properly honored.

“We are treating Aaron as though he were an on-duty officer for his courageous actions that day and we will provide a full line of duty death honors,” said Gramaglia.

Salter leaves behind a wife and three children.

His calling hours will begin again at 11 a.m. Wednesday. His funeral will follow at noon.
