Memories and Condolences
for Jacob Silver

Not sure what to say?

Jacob was one of my first friends at Lyons Township High School. I had moved to the area and I did not know anyone. Jacob always said hello to me in the hallways and always asked how I was doing. He and I developed a friendship over the years at LT. I remember him often when passing through La Grange. May all of us remember Jacob and his wonderful personality.
