Our heartfelt condolences to the family of Leonard Silberman.

He was a contemporary of our father, and in many ways their paths through life paralleled.

May his memories bring you joy and his life's work inspire those that knew him.

Leonard was always so enthusiastic and positive about everything he did. His age was of no consequence. He acted younger each year!
