Charles Silverman

Charles 'Chuck' Silverman I often sit upon the bench above Acalanes H.S. in Walnut Creek; the bench your family placed there in memory of you. Though I did not know you I sense the light and love when I sit on your bench of reflection and love left in your honor. My heart aches for those who lost you I have a son your age - I cannot imagine losing him ; in faith I trust we are all united again at the Festival of Friends in spirit someday - someway- somehow - if we have faith of a mustard seed...

It doesn't seem that long ago that Charles and I were wrestling in the same weight class at CV. I clearly remember Chuck challenging me for the varsity spot, me taking him lightly (I was a senior when he was a freshman), and him taking it to me and nearly winning. Charles was always self confident and was just a good guy. I'm going to miss running into him and getting updates on him from my sister.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My daughter went to school with Chuck at CVHS and also knew him from Havana. She said he had a great smile and was a great guy. I didn't know him myself but my heart goes out to your family. You will be in my prayers.

Charles, I am so sorry that you have gone at such a young age. I have not seen you since you and Michael since you were young- when you guys lived with your mom and dad on Kirkwood Drive. Devin says he spent time with you last years, and said you were a crack up....you turned out to be quite a handsome man! You and your brother were so cute! It just seems like yesterday in the neighborhood, with our lives as they were. My heart and prayers go out to your mom, Ruby and your dad, Chuck,...

R.I.P. man. You will be missed.

Will always miss you buddy. Won't be the same without you

Old buddy and neighbor: Rest in Peace!
Long gone are the slow summer days of hanging with your brother Mike Silverman and Justin Gray. Forever I will cherish the never ending evenings on Camino Estrada. My Wife, Sara Lawrence and I had just ran into you recently. She asked who you were. So many great childhood memories.
Bright Light and Energy - May you Rest In Peace!
