I too am an old schoolmate of Mike's from Sunset Park to Killian. I have many fond memories of Mike doing his impersonations and always smiling and laughing. He was someone I was hoping to reconnect with and was deeply saddened upon learning of his passing. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers

Dear Silbert Family,

I met your son/brother Michael at Sunset Park Elementary School. His love of laughter, people & the "fonz" still make me smile all these years later (I can still picture him in his leather jacket). Although we hadn't kept in touch since high school, his passing has saddened my heart. I am so sorry for your loss - I know it is great. Please know that I have been praying for you and his little girls. He will be missed.

May you be surrounded by God's peace and comfort during this time.

Warmest Regards - Jodi Hogarth
