Edward Silberman

I have nothing but tremendous veneration and praise for Ed Silberman. He was an awe-inspiring leader, and truly a kind and personable man. I frequently sing his praises, mentioning him in connection with many things, and I feel very honored to have known him.

We remember with great fondness Ed Silberman, father and father-in-law of Sheldon and Melissa. May memories of Ed forever comfort and warm his loving family, friends and colleagues.

I played tennis with Ed for 40 years and suffered from that cross court forehand of his many times. He was a good friend, great citizen and patriot. God speed ED.

I was surprised to hear of Ed's passing. Ed played tennis with my husband John Stecklein for many many years and a;ways referred tp Ed as the bionic man. I heard of his passing not through tennis but bridge on Thursday. Shabbat Shalom

Dear Silberman family, I'm writing on behalf of Frank Schiebe's family, to let you know how sorry we are to hear of Dr. Silberman's passing. My Dad thought so much of your father, and I know he was proud to call him his mentor. Our thoughts are with you.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear! I shall miss this man dreadfully. I have missed him these past weeks since April when he has not come to the lab. In fact that has been for the most part since February. All you wonderful Silberman children of Ed, thank you for everything you have done to recognize how much he meant to the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. He has truly blessed the world with his integrity, sharp mind and compassionate spirit, as well as his astute ability to communicate ideas clearly. I have been grateful every day I have known him that I have had the opportunity to work in a place that was shaped somewhat by his convictions and sense of humanity.

Cyril, Sheldon, Marilyn and Marc,

Ed came into our lives at in the later years of his life but connected us with an entirely new and exciting extension of our family as part of his that includes all of you. We will miss him but he lived a good and long life to the very end. Our thoughts are with you.

It is really sad to hear about Ed Silberman’ s passing. I believe that at SAFHL we have been very lucky to have his active participation and interesting questions and constructive comments to the speakers at the SAFHL seminars for so many years. It was really admirable and a great example to follow for the rest of us. He will be definitely missed.
I remember how happy I was to get his response email to the birthday wishes I sent him for his 90th birthday when a big party was organized at the lab in his honor.
My condolences to the family and may you inherit his longevity and mental health and always remember him.

Sheldon and Melissa,

We are so sorry for your sudden loss and our thoughts are with you and your family who will be holding everyone close at this difficult time. Your father had a full and honorable life which is reflected in those who follow him. Our condolences are with you both.

Sheldon and Melissa: Ed lived a long and productive life always being his own person making his own decisions. We are so sorry for this sudden turn of events and are with you in prayers. Jerome & Judith

Sheldon and Melissa,

With heartfelt condolences to you and family. You're in our hearts and thoughts at this sad time. We will be with you in spirit at Ed's service tomorrow. Love, Sally & David

You are both in my thoughts.
