Asking the Good Lord to lift up the family in their time of sorrow. "Silver" as I knew him at Raytheon Aircraft was always good to me. We had many a laugh and called each other "Ole Goat." I will miss him as well. I can still see him walking the hallway during lunch. So long friend.

My deepest sympathy to entire family. It doesn't seem that long ago, that it seemed like I spent half my time at the Heimerman home hanging around with Tony. Sylvester always made me feel at home with his sense of humor and good advice. He will be missed.

Sylvester and I worked side by side for 11 years. We shared lots of stories, both good and bad. He was always available to help anyone that asked and will be missed by all that knew him.
