Paul Silva Obituary
Paul was a graduate of Washington High School in 1979, and Humboldt State, where he received a degree in Computer Science. He had a long career in computer technology, and worked in government systems.
Paul loved to hunt and fish, surfed daily when he lived in Hawaii, and was always game for a round of golf. Part of a large and loving extended family, he could always be counted on to lend a helping hand and help man the grill.
He is survived by his beloved mother, Shirley Emmett, his Aunt Lorraine Lisle, Aunts Connie and Jan, his Uncle Stan, and numerous cousins. He was predeceased by his father Al, and sister Susan Silva.
The funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Centerville Presbyterian Church, 4360 Central Ave., Fremont, CA 94536. A reception will follow afterwards.
