Not sure what to say?

We are so sorry for your loss.

Jen, Zach and the Klish family. So sorry for your loss.
Thinking of you at this sorrowful time.

Thanks for the laughs, beer, and venue, in various orders. I miss you and your dobermans.

Many heartfelt thanks to Sylvester. You gave so many of us a stage when we needed it most. Your impact on the growth of Chicago comedy cannot be overstated. And the free beer was much appreciated!

My condolences to the Klish families. Sylvester was a great guy always a fun time.

Sending our heartfelt condolences to the family for your loss. May the words at Philippians 4:6,7 help guard your hearts and thoughts during this difficult time.

This man was almost as important in starting what has become the improv scene in Chicago as Del Close. He was the first person that gave improvisers a place to perform on a regular basis in Chicago outside of Second City. I am sorry that I did not keep in contact with in the passing years. There will always be stories about him and his club.

I am so sorry to hear of Sylvester's passing My thoughts are with your family. I have some crazy memories of Sylvester!

Your smile and laughter will always be remembered. Thanks for being you.
