JAY SILVER

I was a colleague of Jay and, though we had not been in touch the last few years, we had some wonderful times together in the mud to late '90s. He'd always have a banana sticking out of his suit pocket! But he was a dedicated scholar, crazy associate Dean ( he worked at night) and just a wonderful guy. I will miss him.

Prof. Silver was an excellent professor, and an even better person. I took his capstone research assignment course in the Spring of 2017, with the hopes of just getting through the course so I could graduate and focus on the Bar Exam. Prof. Silver was exciting, energetic, and passionate about his student's success. He encouraged me to have my topic paper published. We need more people like Jay Silver in this world. May he rest in eternal peace.

You changed my life and will always be remembered, Professor Silver. This broke my heart. I´m so sorry to your family.

Mr. Silver, thank you for treating me with kindness and respect. I admired your unique style and personality. What a gift to have met you in this lifetime, you left so much impact.

I was Professor Silver´s research assistant at STU as well as a student of his in the early 90´s. He was a great teacher and a great boss. Always kind. May his memory be a blessing.

I feel extremely lucky to have been a student of professor Silver. He was so kind and one of the most impactful professors I had in law school. I genuinely enjoyed attending his class. The world needs more people like him. Rest in peace professor!

There are no words to describe how deeply Dean Silver impacted the my time at STU Law. He was a kind man. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Everyone at the university was very fond of Jay, a terrific guy

I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to his family during this difficult time. Professor Silver made an everlasting impact on my life during my time at law school. As my professor for Torts Law at St. Thomas University School of Law, he was not only incredibly humble but also an...
