To the Silva family: I would like to extend my condolences at the passing of Coach Silva. I had the pleasure of playing for Coach Silva at Delgado Community College in the late 70's. Coach Silva took a group of players that no-one else wanted and won the conference and regional championship. He was a great coach and a great person to be around. He is now absent from the body but present with God. May God's blessing be upon you.

Gee Gee and I were friends in high school and I often thought of him over the years, wondering how he was doing. I'm so sorry about his passing but I know he is spreading joy in Heaven. God Bless you, Gee Gee.
