Craig "Corky" Silberman

Dearest Richard:

Today I received a surprise telephone call from Filibertha
with the news about Craig’s passing. It has been a long time since our San Diego days, but we both remember that time as a special one, working for you and getting to know your family. Craig was ever the optimist and looked forward to new challenges. He always helped to get things going. Our thoughts are with you during this sad time.
With our deepest sympathies,
Catherine and Filibertha

I extend my sympathies to the Silberman family at the untimely passing of Corky. Corky and I never got to be close friends, as our interests seemed divergent, but we had a lot of mutual friends in common, dating from our childhood in Mission Hills. He was always a warm, friendly, cheerful guy.

The last time I saw him, we were on Fiesta Island watching my brother-in-law run his first and so far, only marathon. Who happened by as another participant but Corky? He recognized us and...

Dear Adam, You are a reflection of what an amazing person your Dad was. Jamie and I are here for you now and always. We love you.

corky, your optimism and enthusiasm were an example for all of us. we will always remember you as an example of a real human being. may your son adam and your mother roberta be strong at this time in their lives. my heart is with you all. love michael.

Thank you,for all the support you gave to the Music Program at the San Diego Center for Children. And also for the many lives you touched and the difference you made in helping our children and there families. Your presents will be missed by us all. Adam, thank you for sharing your dad with us for so many years. I will keep you in my prayers. Music Program Director San Diego Center for Children.

Dear Adam, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I don't know if you remember me - you came to "The Art Center-Kid's Cottage" many - many times over several years. Your dad was a very special man - always smiling and so happy. Try and remember all the wonderful times you shared with him and it will help you at this sad time in your life. Be "brave and strong" - he would want you to be. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.
Much love, Katie Zolezzi

my sincere sympathy to the loss of "corky" craig silberman. may he be together with his grandfather isidore and watch us from above.

Dear Adam, Roberta, Dick, Jeff, and Karen,
My sincerest condolences to all of you in honor of Craig. He was my brother-in-law and a close friend for over twenty years. I valued his positive outlook on life and envied his talents on the guitar. I'll forever miss playing rhythm to his lead on our Fender electric guitars!

I shared my favorite memory of Corky with him, he never failed to mention it to me when we met. I remember him walking down the Prado in Balboa Park, holding both his son Adam's hand and his grandpa's. I will cherish this memory and mourn Corky's loss. My condolences.
