Silverio Almeida Obituary

Dear Alicia
I cannot begin to tell you how sad I am for your loss. I pray that you and your family will derive comfort from many fond memories. Your Dad sounds like a wonderful person who lived his life to the fullest and loved his family dearly. How very lucky so many of us have been to have such a remarkable man among us. Love.

Christine and family: I am terribly saddened to learn of Sil's tragic death. Sandy and I just returned yesterday from an extended trip and heard the news from colleagues at UNCC. It's hard to imagine that such a lover of life is no longer with us. My thoughts are with you.

Alicia and Family. I was so sad and shocked to hear about your dad. We have all thought of you so much; constantly in our prayers. May you find comfort in the love of family and friends and the wonderful memories you have of your dad. Love you lots. Wanda

Christine, Alicia and John, Christopher and Heather,
Orrin and I are so saddened but the news of Silverio’s parting but we join in celebrating his wonderful life and all the joy he brought to us all. Our family times in Indian Run were so special. I will continue to keep Sil in my heart and think of him each time I buy pistachios, for he so loved my pistachio ice cream. May you be comforted in the warmth of loved ones and by knowing that Sylverio’s love lives on forever.
Emma Katherine and Annelise, may you one day realize how fortunate you are to have shared in the life of this great grandfather! God bless.

Dear Mrs. Almeida, Alicia, and Christopher,

Alicia, Christopher and Christine,
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Your dad and husband, Sil (Mr. Almeida to many of us), was a wonderful dad I will never forget. May his spirit and love of life continue to live on through all of you.

To Christopher and Heather and the Almeida family,
Though I only met your father briefly, I have such a strong impressions of him mostly through how you've spoken about him through all these years. It was always so clear what a kind, playful, and loving father he was for you. Our thoughts are with you. Much Love, Tommy and Erika

Dear Christine and family,
Deepest sympathy from and old Oak Manor neighbor and someone who worked with Sil for 14 of the years he was at VT. I am sorry I never made it down to visit (I had promised Sil this year would be it).
If it had not been for Sil's effort our dept. may not have gotten the Price's Fork Observatory when it did. I have fond memories of some delicious shared meals (when you lived in Indian Run), some animated conversations about philosophical topics,and an intersting stint with Sil on the "Architecture Committee of the Oak Manor Homeowner Association. May your memories help you fill the void and give you strength for the future. All of you are all in my thoughts at this difficult time. He will be missed.

Marlene and I were saddened by the unexpected news of Sil's passing. It is difficult for us to comprehend that one so full of life is gone.
