I remember finding out about Marc's passing several years ago and to this day I think of him very fondly with some frequency. I met Marc when we were both in Kidder Peabody's National Training Program back in 1991; but unfortunately, we lost touch after he left Kidder. On those times I think about him, I pray that Karen and his children have been able to move on knowing that Marc left an indelible legacy as a wonderful role model, father and husband. Rest in peace Marc.

I am so saddened to hear the news about Marc. I too grew up in Fair Lawn and have only fond memories of him. We were good friends and shared lots of good times from school, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Cosmos games and just watching him play basketball at FLJC. My deepest condolences to the Silver family.

Much love,

Marc was my best friend from business school. He always made me feel like I was a member of his family, like his brother. He would literally give his friends the shirt off his back. He was a wonderful, sweet, fun, intelligent guy that I cannot stop thinking about. My heart goes out to his family and especially to his long time love Karen. I feel so fortunate to have had him in my life.

Those of us who grew up with him, Marc will be remembered as that guy who everyone liked. He was always warm and friendly, except when going after a rebound in a Jewish Center league basketball game. He was calm and confident, and one who led by example. While i have not seen him in nearly 30 years, that does not erase the memory of who he was and how he impacted us during our formative years. I am so saddened by his passing, but i am sure his persona will live on through the love and actions of this family, friends, and those of us who remember where he started, and the environment which shaped the outstanding person he was.
