The Ortega Familia, Siento mucho! Your brother was always a kind friendly person to me. ...Rest in Peace hermano~

Rick, Lorenzo and the entire Ortega Family. I'm really sorry for your loss. Silver was a really good person who was loved by his community. He will be missed. Liggan

Silver: You never demanded respect, but your presence did. Sincere condolences to the entire Ortega families. Ben* and family: You guys are especially in my prayers. Always remember Silver's daily words: "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF."

Silver, what a kind gentle man who was especially wonderful to kids. He is leaving quite a legacy for those that had the good fortune to have had him in their lives , even for just a short time. RIP Silver !

My late husband always said that if he were in a fox hole, there is no one he would rather have by his side than Silver. Silver was a kind, loving, caring man who always had time for others. He will be sorely missed by all lucky enough to know him and love him. Susan Wit
