My heartfelt sympathy to the entire Silver family. Bob always had a peace about him and genuine kindness and concern for all. I'll never forget his words of sympathy and love when my mom, Mary Jane Figueras, passed. He was so faithful in serving our Lord, his family and the community. May his family find comfort and confidence in his rejoicing in heaven.

Attica – Robert “Bob” Lee Silver, 85, of rural Attica, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 3:53 p.m., following a cerebral hemorrhage earlier that day.
Bob, as he was affectionately known by family and friends, was born at home near Boswell, Indiana, on June 23, 1940. He was the son of the late Martin and Mildred Jocelyn (Faulkner) Silver. At the age of 2, he moved to Jordan Township, Warren County, Indiana where he lived for 68 years before relocating to his current home near Williamsport.
A lifelong farmer, Bob dedicated himself to working the land in Jordan Township well into his 80s. Whether he was tilling soil, planting corn and soybeans, or hauling grain to the elevators, he found purpose and pride in his work.
After graduating from high school, Bob served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam era. At the time of his honorable discharge, he had attained the rank of E4 Specialist.
Bob was a devoted member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Attica, where he served faithfully on the church council. His commitment to the community ran deep—he served as chairman of the St. Vincent Williamsport Hospital Board, the ASCS Board and the Merit Board, offering steady leadership and thoughtful stewardship. Passionate about supporting local youth, Bob dedicated his time serving many years as the President of the Warren County Fair Board, the Horse and Pony Club and the MSD of Warren County School Board. He also contributed meaningfully to the Warren County Soil & Water Conservation Board and the Jordan Township Conservation District, always striving to preserve and enrich the land he loved. Above all, Bob cherished time spent with his family, especially during holidays and shared travels, where his warmth and quiet humor made every gathering memorable.
On January 25, 1969, Bob married Becky Lynn Nies in Lucerne, Indiana. Together they shared 56 years of love and partnership.
Bob is survived by his beloved wife, Becky; five children: Vincent Silver (Valeri Dawson) of Williamsport; Cynthia Wallace (Shawn) of Indianapolis; Drs. Kim Brown (Klent) of Bedford, IN; Amber Obert (Dr. Brian) of Carmel, IN; and Adam Silver (Olive) of Santa Barbara, CA. He was a proud grandfather to 12 grandchildren: Alex, Nate, and Issy Wallace; Cora, Porter, Oliver, Avery, and Charli Brown; Spencer and Eloise Obert; and Theodore and Emmett Silver. He is also survived by his sister, Sandy Swanson (Jerry) of Denver, IA.
He was preceded in death by three brothers—Thomas, William, and James Silver—and four sisters—Joyce Wetli, Patty Portman, Rita Senesac, and Mary Klemme.
A Rosary Service will be held at Maus Funeral Home in Attica on Monday, September 8th at 3:30 p.m., followed by visitation from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church on Tuesday, September 9th at 10:00 a.m., with Rev. David Rasner officiating. Burial will follow at St. Francis Xavier Cemetery in Attica.
Memorial contributions may be made to Masses, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, P.O. Box 55, Attica, IN 47918 or the Warren County 4-H Fair Board, mail to Purdue Extension c/o Fair Board, 408 Indiana 28, Williamsport, IN 47993.
