Senor Silva was a gentleman and over-the-moon class act. I shall always remember his many kindnesses he showed me regarding his portrayal of Hector Allegria on Key West, a very joyous memory for him I am happy to say. My deepest condolences to Pam and Lucia.

It's something to hear of Mr. Silva's passing this morning. I'd the honor and pleasure of meeting & working with him on a movie years back. He was a true gentleman - one of very few I've met in all my travels and life experiences. I offer my well-wishes and prayers to his family and loved ones. (Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord, and may your perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.) Sincerely, Judy Herrera
