Earl SILVERMAN Obituary
Earl Silverman passed away on Friday, April 26, 2013. Earl came to Calgary, from Montreal by way of Miami, FL and Vancouver, B.C. in 1978. Earl's most notable accomplishment was his formation and development of the socially innovative "Family of Men" support society in 1999. As with all things, with Earl, the society received 110% of Earl's commitment, time and resources. The FoM was both controversial, and instructive regarding a gap within society's social safety nets. Earl was predeceased by his Mother. Funeral Services will be held at the Jewish Memorial Chapel, (North East corner of Highway 22X and 37 Street S.W.) today, May 10, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. with Interment to follow at the 37 Street Cemetery. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Earl's memory may be made to the charity of your choice or the Chevra Kadisha Society. Arrangements in care of the CHEVRA KADISHA OF CALGARY. Telephone: 403-244-4717.

Earl was a great man who devoted the last years of his life to help men through the horrors of domestic violence. His loss affects us all profoundly.

Earl was a Mensch and I am proud to have called him friend. The world was a better place while he was here, and it is a better place because he was here. I will miss him.
