Peter Silverman

Hope Valley, Rhode Island
Silverman, Peter A., 65, died on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, in West Greenwich. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late A. Harvey & Jane (Gumbiner) Silverman. He had lived in Hope Valley for 10 years. Peter was educated in Environmental Sciences and received a bachelor's from the University of Rhode Island; with this education, he was able to open and maintain a greenhouse in Providence for a few years before changing careers and joining the Postal Carrier union with the United States Postal Service, after 30 years, he retired in March 2024. While he was working with USPS, this did not stop Peter from continuing to follow his passion for horticulture, using his well-earned education by perfecting the process of seeds to shelf gardening and providing his community with access to his green thumb. He was an avid outdoorsman, at any point in the year, you would find him enjoying the serenity of a hike or camping in a remote location far from the noise of the real world. Though he enjoyed his own company, he later decided to become a well respected and active member of the Touro Fraternal Association in Cranston, where he was the vice president of Friendship Lodge.
Dear brother of Julie Steiner of Sarasota, FL, Amy Edelkind (Shane) of Bradenton, FL and Laurie Moretti of Sarasota, FL. He is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews. Those who were lucky enough to know Peter well, called him a dear friend.
