Wonderful, caring and thoughtful family man!

A wonderful man always so polite and gentle. We will miss him when friends and family get together on the lane to celebrate the next occasion or just be thankful for some warmer weather. Rest in peace Silvio. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Growing up in the Italian community, your Italian elders were forever present; church, social gatherings, weddings or a Sunday visit. Silvio was that person for me, I knew him all my life and seeing him was a comfort as it brought me to the safe memory of the Italian community of my childhood. When I was 17, I was brought back to that feeling when I saw him on the 144 bus pulling up to take me to college in Bromsgrove. Thank you Silvio, thank you for being part of the Italian community, creating a safe group for us to grow up in and allow me to recall some warm childhood memories.
