Manuel was polite, kind, and sensible. Would see him at kwik break all the time. He was always up for a chat. When i was a kid he stuffed a hawk i had found on the side of the road. He did great work. Whenever i see it i am reminded of him and will continue to be. May god bless him and his family. He will be missed.

Mr. Silva was always so appreciative of our care at UCSF. He was a very wonderful person! I am honored to have known him. Best, Christine, RN

Wht a good person u we´re to me I remeber always how I would have ur thanksgiving tray & ur order of tamales every holiday for 8 yrs u we´re & will be in my thoughts, you were always a good loving person will be missed, we all would wait for u to come into kwik break with a hello a drawing & a smile with ur cup of coffee.

Manny was my favorite person when I worked at Kwik break. He always had art books and Batman items to give me! I will never forget such an amazing human who was always kind and had such a great sense of humor. I will personally miss him for his visits to just talk about life.

This man was one of my childhood heroes! I probably wouldn´t be the artist I am today if not for him . I remember as a small boy sitting in my father´s taxidermy studio with Manuel sculpting animals from clay and just marveling at the talent that Manuel´s hands and mind possessed. Thinking to my self one day I will be as talented as this man! Just want to give my thanks to him for being a kind and honest man and thnk you for the story´s of old you will be truly missed love you Manuel;
