Saddened to learn of Silvio's passing. Although it has been years since we worked together, thoughts of him always bring a smile to my face. His sense of humour always made me laugh. So sorry for your loss Mary. We are out of town or I would been at visitation.

I was sad to read about Silvio's passing. He was a good friend during our years at the Leddy Library. His wit, humor and kindness will always be remembered. Sorry for your loss. He was very lucky to have you at his side.

Dear Mary:
This breaks my heart. He was always one of my favourite people. And what he has gone through the last year...with you by his side taking care of him. Thinking of you, and enjoying the thought of him flying in the clouds.
