To the Silvia Family
Mr Silvia use to be a customer at Brooks Pharmacy where I work. I use to love hearing his stories and I always looked forward to the next visit. I have missed seeing him in the past couple of years but his wife always gave me updates. I am so glad I got to know him and I will never forget him.
I am so sorry for your loss.

David and Family,
Very sorry to hear of your loss.
Al was a great guy. I can still hear his laugh. I remember the garage in Providence near the hurricane barrier. We would all hang around at the end of the day. Al always had some great stories. He was one of the hardest working guys I have ever known. He never stopped. I always enjoyed running into him and catching up. He is someone I will always remember.
