ABNER "Abbie" SILVER

Dear Joan and Family,
We were saddened to hear of Abbie's passing. He was a sweet, gentle, kind man. Our most heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts.
Mindy and Rich Goldman and family

We'll always remember Abbie's smile & warmth, sending our deepest condolences to Joan & the family.

Abby and I were law school classmates. He was a bright, lovely man, who succeeded in business and made his mark in our city with his iconic restaurants. We did business together when I ran Jefferson Bank, and he was loyal, honest, reliable, and of the highest character. May his soul be bound up in eternal life.

I worked with Abbie over the past few years in a business relationship. His warmth, intelligence, energy and smile were truly a treat for me. My thoughts go out to Ken and his wife whom I have had the pleasure of seeing them expand Abbie's vision with an eye always to please the customer. Abbie and his partners created a legend - one that Philadelphia embraced for decades as a showcase for the city he loved. Abbie was a proud man - we are all proud of Abbie. Rest in peace.

GOD BLESS THE SOUL OF ABBIE SILVER. MAY HE FOREVER HAVE PEACE AND COMFORT

We found from the outset that we shared the vision he had for this undertaking and we began work using an open-book, trusting, time & material agreement. Toward the end of the project, my briefcase was stolen from my truck. In these pre-computer days, a 2" thick sheaf of paperwork, now gone, was the...

I am honored to have known Abner and I will never ever forget his wonderful stories - he was one of a kind - thinking of his family at this difficult time....

Dear Josn & Family,
You are in my thoughts & prayers. Respectfully,
