Silvio was a great partner in life for my Mother (Jeanette). In good times and some of challenge he never waivered in his support of our family. For some of the grandchildren he was the only Grandfather (Papa) that they knew and they all adored him. We would like to thank those who have expressed their condolences to our family and know that if anyone is in the hands of the Lord and the Angels it is Silvio.
