I am also remembering when you bought your beautiful bunny costume and dressed up for Reana. You have touched Reana's and Rylan's heart forever; you were their special "Michael-Michael."

Hi Mike,
It's been a while since i posted a message to you but you are in my thoughts everyday. My mom found a picture of us over the weekend it brought back so many memories . I held the picture for like 15 mins and then started to cry. I still can't beleive that you are in Heaven and not here with us. I don't think I ever wanted to beleive that it really happened. You have always held a special place in my heart thats pains me all the time when I think about you and how you left us on that very sad July morning. I remenber when my grandmother passed away it hurt so very much. I did loved her dearly. On that day you where there holding my hand telling me she was in a better place with no pain and that she would be looking down on me every day. You where there to helped me through that very hard day and I will never forget it. I wish I could have repayed the hand to you on your hard day I wish I could have made your pain go away. I miss you Michael Silver the world is not the same without you ...xoxoxox!!!!Always in my heart.

I was thinking about the 2001 Super Bowl last night, when the Giant and Eagles played in the first round. We made a wager I think you bet the whole office on that game. Being a Jet fan I had nothing to lose, except some cash and I root for NY teams. You loved the Eaglesâ?¦and they lost that year.
You were so mad you bet me every game after that all the way to the Super Bowl that other team would beat the Giants; finally the Baltimore Raven came through for you.
Enjoy the game Mike!

I can still see and hear you, your friends, Young-Young, and Sean out in the sideyard, pretending to be your favorite Phillies players. The entire neighborhood could hear Sean cheering! You and your friends would laugh and encourage Sean to keep it up, driving us all crazy!!

What an exciting night to be at the 2nd game in the National League Championship series cheering for the Phillies with Uncle George. As we sat waiting for the game to begin I surveyed the crowd and saw a young man who did not look like Michael in any way except for his mannerisms and body language. I thought how Michael would have been there this night with Sean and how we would all have celebrated together. Thoughts of him filled my mind of what could have been, should have been. I, again, looked around at the people and in the row below us saw another handsome guy who had Michael's smile and joyfulness. Again, I was missing Michael and reflecting on him, his beautiful face, his love of life and his infectious smile and laughter. As I looked up and out to the field out of nowhere a small, but beautiful monarch butterfly slowly glided across my view. I felt as if I stood up, reached over the row, I might have touched it but I was not compelled to do so. It's beautiful orange and black body moved in a gentle, floating, soothing , to and fro manner from my left to my right. Then... it was gone as quietly as it came. It was a calming, reassurance from our dear and beloved boy. I immediately felt Michael's presence and inner knowlegde that he is with us every day in every way. When we especially need his love he will send us a sign as a reminder that he is watching, praying, helping us and that his love is unending and he is with us always and everywhere! Michael saw the Phillies win the game that night with us as I had hoped and I did celebrate with him if only in my heart! I love him more and more each day. Look for the signs he is sending to all of us! Love, Aunt Cath xoxoxox

Desest Michael -
It is so hard to believe that a year has passed. It has taken me a long time to write to you. I guess mainly because I've been in denial and somehow by writing you forces me into reality. I still see Stefan sitting on the floor of the garage a year ago all alone and crying. He truly looked up to you. He obviously had reason - your kindness, generosity, looks, success, charm, sense of humor..I could go on all day. I read an email I saved that I sent you last July 5th telling you I would be in Hoboken. I wish I had just gone to see you on that day instead. I miss you terribly. You're in my thoughts constantly, my prayers nightly and my heart forever. Love, Aunt Linda

Hey Michael,
I am in Shanghai, China for the Special Olympics World Games. I wish you were here to watch me umpire softball. You always believed in me and told me I could do anything. I will do my best and make you proud.
Michael, I love and miss you so much.
Your Brother,

To all of my friends and family who continue to read and write tributes to our family.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories of Michael. I read and re-read them throughout the day. Some bring a smile to my face, others bring tears, but that's okay. I love all of them and want you to continue sharing. Thank you for the beautiful cards, Arc donations, e-mails, phone calls, flowers, etc. Many of you have left me voice messages that I eventually plan to return.
Your words of comfort and your anecdotes and stories about Michael mean a great deal to us during this sad time.
Much Love and Appreciation,
Cindy and Family

Cindy, I pick up the phone to call and I immediately fall apart. I keep Michael's picture nearby. If you answer the phone and hear a wierd gurgling noise, it's me reaching out to you , but unable to talk through tears. How hard it is to get to the healing! I think of you everyday. My love to you and your wonderful family.

Mrs. Silver, Renee and Sean,
My heart goes out to you guys.
Yesterday I heard about Michael and still can?t believe it. I spent evening telling my wife just about everything I could remember about him, from elementary school on through high school. I?ve told her just about all of the stories before, and she felt like she already knew him.
I couldn?t get an ounce of sleep last night and still am in a fog. The strange thing is, I haven?t talked to Michael in over 17 years. He had that much of an impact.
Most of my memories of Michael are from the grade school playground and high school. In high school my memories are of Monday morning homeroom chatter, and listening to the hilarious stories of Michael and what he had done over the weekend. We were in different homerooms, but Michael stories always got around.
I remember one day at Gateway, we had a Drivers Ed class together, I think speaks to his competitive nature, to put it lightly. They were testing each kid?s braking response time on a machine. Anyway, when I went I had a great time and walked away not thinking anything of it. Later, I?m sitting there talking while the other kids were finishing up, and I hear ?KINKADE, GET UP HERE?, yelled from the front of the room. It was Michael, and it turned out, I had the fastest time, and he had the second. And he wanted a rematch.
Knowing how competitive he was from grade school on up, I toyed with him and told him that; ?My score stands and maybe he would have better luck on the less athletic portion of the class, the written test.? This was a total joke because he could run circles around me on his worst day. That totally got him going and he accused me of cheating, which he said to get me going. He refused to let the class continue until we had a rematch. Finally the teacher asked me to give-in so we could get on with the class. Needless to say, we had our rematch.
I once read that a well lived life, is one where you have to reclaim it everyday, and that is what Michael did. He squeezed every ounce out of each experience, and made those that knew him better for it.

Dearest Michael,
I want to share our favorite story I have of you. We could always laugh about it. You always had that beautiful smile in my classroom. However one day while doing math on the blackboard you proceeded to get very sick. You got sick all the way through the room, down the stairs and down the hallway to the nurses office. You certainly were not smiling then. I felt so badly for you. But your smile came back and you felt better soon. I hope you are using that fantastic smile to look down upon all those that love you very much. We all have certain memories that help us to smile upon you. With much Love to a fantastic young man. Love you, Nancy

To one of my best friends in the world! Cindy you and I have been through many happy and sad times,but this has a category all its own. I have wanted to write something in here and thought today on Michaels 38th birthday was a perfect time.
Thirty two years ago I moved next door to a family that would forever hold a special place in my heart. Michael was just a little boy who became friends with my son Bill. We all spent many hours together, laughing, crying and doing many crazy things.
Looking out my kitchen window brings back so many memories of Michael, Renee and our baseball calling Sean. I can just picture Michael opening your laundry room door and throwing a piece of white bread to "Simon" We all would laugh at how that dog would come running. There are so many wonderful memories!! Michael was a special little boy who turned into a wonderful man. My love goes out to you, Renee, Sean and the entire family. You know I am here for you always my Cindy Gal!!
I love you!

To Cindy, Mike, Sean and especially my friend Renee and all of the family:
There are no words I can say to express how I feel. When I heard of the loss of Michael, I was stunned and felt a great sadness. What a warm, caring and wonderful person he was. I remember when Renee and I first became friends, Michael was in college--gosh what a crush I had on him. So handsome, with beautiful eyes that were kind and mischevious at the same time. His smile would make the butterflies in my stomach do flip-flops. Then as I got older, I got to know more about him, his character. He loved his family so much, and I know he would do anything for all of you. I witnessed that over and over again. I want you to know that I think of him often and through my saddness I always have to smile, he will always have that effect on me. My thoughts and prayers are always with you all. I pray that God will help you through this and that he will give you all strength. And especially to you Renee, I love you and I will always be here for you. If there is anything I can do for your family, anything at all-please let me know. May God bless you all.

It's impossible to find the right words. Mike was still a young boy when I last saw him, but I "watched" him grow into a wonderful man over the years through my deep friendship with you Cindy. And I'm having a hard time believing this has happened.
My love goes out to all of you. May the memories of happier times soon heal the awful pain from the loss of your shinning star. He gave off a light that brought joy to so many. He'll never be out of our minds.
I will be holding you all in my heart.

Brothers are a big part of each other and I know you have great memories of your "growing up" years. I know you looked up to him and he obviously loved you deeply. Partly through Michael's influence, you have become a wonderful, caring human being and will continue to be a tribute to your brother's life just in being who you are. We love ya, Sean and I'm here if ya need anything at all.

Dear Cindy and Family,
I am so sad for your loss. Please know that me and my husband pray alot and are naming your son and you and your family especially in our prayers and will at church on Sunday too. The picture of your son herein shows that he was a very handsome man with a bright, wonderful, warm smile which I'm sure is also reflective of his heart. May the peace of God be with you, a peace that surpasses all understanding because we know we have eternal life through Him, Jesus, sent by God the Father and by Whose sacrifice we are able to call God our father too and are given eternal life, not because of the good we did but because of the good He did in our behalf and because of our Faith. Our Faith in Jesus is the most important thing in life because we know our time here is so short and only because of Him does our earthly journy make sense and have any meaning at all. I see the love you have for people Cindy and I know you give that love in different ways to everyone you touch. Your love is a reflection of the love you are given by God and once shared it stays with those whose lives you touched. I see love in Michael's eyes too and I know that he had many a great days because He had your love too. God will help you through this because He does so love us too. Please know I shed tears for your loss with you and am praying for your blessings. We all need prayers all the time.

I just got home from the memorial/celebration for Mike in Hoboken. Ther were about 150 people and many stories were told about Mike. So many people loved him and were touched by his soul. Everyone there was eager to give to ARC and almost everyone either had met Sean or were told about him by Silver. I excpect that you will be getting some very nice donations.
People laughed and cried and everone misses Mike - he was, is, and always will be - the life and soul of the party!
Mike - I hope you could feel the love that was there for you tonight! We all love you - I love you, miss you and pray for your family to find peace in the fact that you are at peace.
Siver - please don't ever forget about "The Gert" - I need you!

I was there last night sharing thoughts and memories with old friends. It was unfortunate that it took this tragic event for all of us to get together. It was amazing to hear all the stories, some i knew and others i heard for the first time. They all had the same message of you as a funny, loving,and caring individual. I will never forget the comfort you gave me and my family by offering me a job within 20 minutes of me being fired from a previous job. I looked forward to our dinners when I would return from London and you never dissappointed. Today is one of the saddest days in Jewish history, a day when both temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, so its only appropriate that I take today and reflct on your life as well as mine and use the stength that you gave all of us to get through this diffucult time. I will miss you and carry your memory with me forever. Gator

To Michael's family,
My heart and prayers go out to all of you. I've never been an extremely religious person, but in a time like this I do believe that Michael was taken from us to share his love and wisdom somewhere else. I look around and see him everywhere. A sparkle in a stranger's eye, a laugh coming from a crowd of people, someone listening as intensly as he did to a story...Michael is everywhere.
My husband, Val, was Michael's friend. I am the "wife" who was fortunate enough to have become friends with him. He is truly a wonderful person that will be missed, but never forgotten.
Please know that there are people everywhere, that you do not even know-maybe never even heard their names mentioned-that loved your son, brother, uncle, nephew, grandchild, friend. His passion for life and love was contagious, and he will live through us all forever.
God bless all of you,

Mike; I NEVER EVER would have imagined myself writing this note on a website devoted to you like this and I am truly heartsick to do it now. I was with you at the beginning when you were just starting out and I marvelled at your talent and abilities and unlimited potential. Needless to say I was'nt the least bit surprised by how big you made it as a trader or in real estate or in any other endeavor you applied yourself to. There's alot to say and very limited room so I'd just like to say the most important thing I can think of; "May God be with you and your family and loved ones, and may your soul be at peace bound up in heaven for all eternity" Let us say AMEN!!!

Michael and I had so many memories that we shared but a few stand out in mind.
WVU trip- I could not wait to go visit Michael @ WVU with Cindy and Bob, I got to his house and Cindy was no where to be found, she came in the house all flustered for she had been running around the neighborhood chasing Michael's love Abbey, we had so much fun at the football game, dinner and on the long ride Bob found out my secret and we laughed the whole way home!
Poconos Trip- Michael invited on a trip to the Poconos he took me fishing for the first time. He was so proud of the 12 inch bass he caught and could not wait to get back to the cabin so Cindy could make us a meal of his BIG fish!!
The many times Michael would drive all the way across Woodbury Heights to pick me up on his BIKE!!
Genesis Concert- Michael drove me in the red bomber to the concert when he took me home I wanted to practice parking, when he yelled at me to hit the brake, I hit the gas and hit the car in front of me,we got out the car and ran laughing, the neighbor never even realized that the front end of her car was sticking out in the middle of the street!!
Chris Nickerson took about 10 of us out on his boat and dropped us off on the island in Wildwood, he told us he would be back shortly well turned out shortly was after a day of work we were stuck out there ALL day we were a bit burnt but still had the time of our life!!
And the one thing that really stands out is when I was 19 and found out I was having a baby and how Michael was there as a true friend for me taking me to ice cream and mini golf and I will NEVER forget that!
You did an outstanding job Cindy he would always say you and I drove him crazy and I always would feel so special when he said that because he ABSOLUTELY ADORED his MOMMA!!

Mrs. SilverCindy,
I know you have been Mrs. Kern for many years now, but I will always think of you as Mrs. Silver because that was your name when I was a little girl and was a frequent guest in your house as Renee's "best friend". I have so many wonderful memories of growing up in Woodbury Heights with your family along with all the other kids in the neighborhood.
I remember long summer evenings when Michael and Sean and all the boys were playing baseball in your yard. Michael would get Sean to do his Harry Calas imitation at the top of his lungs, and the neighbors blocks away could hear him. Renee and I would rollerskate in your driveway and Michael and his friends would be riding their bikes, joking and playing tricks and teasing the girls.
I remember all the nights I slept over, and Michael would try to scare us and make us think someone was outside of Renee's bedroom window. When Michael got his new bedroom in the converted garage, he was so proud because his room was on the opposite side of the house, like he was grown up enough to have his own "apartment".
When Renee and I decided to become "blood sisters", we did it secretly in her room. Later we told Michael, but he wouldn't believe that we made ourselves bleed. So we did it again to prove it to him. He laughed and laughed when he saw that it was only a pin prick on our fingers that made us bleed!
I'll never forget how much Michael loved that crazy dog Simon! He was supposed to be giving him a bath outside one day, but somehow both he and Simon ended up covered in mud. Michael let him inside, and your laundry room was soon covered in mud as well. Renee and I were standing outside of the laundry room door peeking in and laughing at him. He somehow managed to get the mess cleaned up though, and was a good sport about it too! I remember thinking if I had a big brother, I would want him to be like Michael.
But the thing I remember most about Michael from when we were little is how competetive he was, even on the playground! At lunchtime recess he and the other boys always played kickball, and arranged it so they had permanent teams. They played and played until the best team won the "championship". Of course, Michael's team won, and he walked around the playground with his fisted hands over his head singing "We Are the Champions" over and over again until Miss Beckett finally made him stop. I have always remembered Michael as a 3rd grader everytime I hear that song.
Those were golden days for us all, and I am thankful for such wonderful growing-up years with your kids. Although years go by and friendships drift apart, there is a certain bond that is forged between early childhood friends that can never be broken because of these shared memories. I thought I would share these memories with you and Renee and Sean in hopes of making you smile, even for just a minute, through your tears. Please know you remain in my thoughts and prayers.

To Mike's family,
When Senator Ted Kennedy eulogized his brother Robert in 1968--he quoted his late brother as often saying "Some men see things as they are and say 'Why?'. I dream things that never were and say 'Why not?'" To me this embodies the spirit of Michael. He was never satisfied. There was always more to do. He would never settle. His drive and passion for life have rubbed off on so many people in this world. I am proud to have been his friend and will always remember him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all who loved him.

Dear Cindy,Bob,Mike,Nancy,Renee,Sean,Donovan,Sawyer,and Allison,
This was the most painful news I have ever received. I am so very sorry for your heartbreaking loss. The sadness is incomprehensible...
Though time and life had separated us, I have held and will continue to hold a special place in my heart for Michael forever...
Very soon after meeting Michael in college he began talking about his great family. He shared stories and pictures...Introducing me to you before any formal introduction was made. It was clear that he was a family man. His adoration and respect for you all was immediately apparent. He was excited to have me meet you. And as I met you, one by one, I understood why he loved and enjoyed you so much. It is truly a gift when your family members are your friends. You were his best friends and he held you with the highest regard.
Cindy and Mike, may you be forever proud of the outstanding son you raised. As you know, Michael had a heart of gold. He touched more lives and accomplished more in 38 years than most people ever accomplish. He was the most driven, intense, passionate, vibrant person I have ever met. Some people have referred to him as "a force" or as "being bigger than this world". I believe this to be true. I find solace in knowing that Michael is peacefully resting in a better place. His love and laughter will live in our hearts forever...Thank you for the gift of Michael. We are all better for having known and loved him. That is the "Silver"lining to this heavy cloud.
I will always cherish the time I spent with Michael and your family. Some of the best times of my life were spent at The Kern Inn, Silver Lake, NYC, and WVU. I can still hear the laughter...Thank you for being so good to me. You are wonderful people.
It has been said that in grief we feel the magnitude of love. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for you all every day. I am sending you love, peace, strength, and many warm hugs. May happy memories of Michael comfort you and bring you joy forever...and ever!

To all who loved Micheal, family and friends,
It took me some time to finally write on here. It's so hard to know what to say about a guy like Mike who's life ended so suddenly. He was a great guy full of energy and talent. Knowing him for nearly 20 yrs, as a friend and coworker, i got to share some unforgettable times to say the least. I spent a lot of time bragging about "this guy" that has done it all! UNFORGETTABLE! He treated me like his younger brother. Mike was just a special person who truly cared for others more so then himself. This was evident every day. I will not forget him. I will remember all his wonderful accomplishments and best days which were many! For everyone that loved Michael i pray for you. This is a time for not necessarily understanding but hopefully accepting and remembering how awesome Michael truly was. I will always remember my friend Mike, may he be in a better peaceful place.

My heart goes out to the Family and friends of Michael. Michael will never be forgotten and there will always be a place in my heart for him. He was a loving,caring,generous,trusted friend that would always be there for me. I can not remember a time when he was not doing something for someone else or trying to better there life. Michael always wanted to live life to the fullest, wether it was scuba diving trips in Canada,Sail fishing in Florida,or just long drives to our next location.He was always thinking of how we could have more fun and put a smile on someone's face.His accomplishments in this life were one's that most people can only dream of. If this world had more people like Michael it would
be a much better place. I have not only lost a great friend, but I have also lost a piece of myself. I hope to get that piece back along with my friend in another lifetime. Michael you will be in my heart and mind until we meet again.

As Mike?s wrestling coach from ages eight through fourteen I remember him as an energetic, enthusiastic and motivated boy who always brought a smile to my face. Even if an opponent was older and stronger he hated to lose. When a regular wrestling move didn?t work he would make up his own. From everything I read it sounds like the precocious child grew up to be a fine young man.
I am truly sorry to learn of his passing and will keep him and you all in my thoughts and prayers.

WVU was an incredible blast and all the more so because of Michael. Our drives to and from school for breaks are some of my most cherished collegiate memories, for those rides were a hell of a lot of fun!
He was the utlimate gentleman and a loyal friend. He was beautiful. Beautiful Silver. I cannot imagine this world without him. I simply cannot, but I am grateful to have all of those fond memories of our halcyon days at WVU.
What a magnificent being.

Dear Cindy, Bob, Sean, Renee, Mike & Nancy,
What a great young man Michael was. Michael was at Sean's apatment a few months ago when I went to pick up Sean to take him and Steve bowling. Michael, being the polite, respectful and outgoing young man that he was immediately came over to the car and asked about Heather, Jeff and how everything was going. We also spoke about the next thing he had planned for Sean and Steve. He loved those two! Steve thought the world of Michael and would tell us that he had spoken to Michael on the phone while at Sean's and that always made him happy. He had a way of making people feel special. Our hearts ache with and for you all. If we can do anything for you please know that we are here.

I worked closely with Michael over the past two years and knew him as someone who cared deeply for the well being of others long before he ever thought of himself. I will never forget stopping by Mike?s office one Friday evening back in February 2007, only to find him leaving to deliver a car load of Toys to his tenant?s children in Jersey City. That was Mike. I witnessed many acts like that, all of which defined Mike?s character and concern for others.
The world is a lesser place without Michael and I will miss him.
My sympathies to Michael's entire family and all who knew him.

I remember Mike standing in my doorway after a rain storm telling me that the ravine was flooded and ?higher than our heads,? speaking with a volume and urgency that marked his voice whenever he saw an opportunity to have fun. We swam that day, in the ravine and through the storm pipes that ran beneath Elm Avenue.
I remember being in the middle of a Christmas party full of laughing adults we didn?t know, the two of us alone, awkwardly singing ?Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? in a bid to make a few bucks. We fared better that night than we did the following October when Mike convinced me we could sing songs that we learned in music class to make money Halloween caroling.
I?m hard-pressed to recall a childhood adventure that didn?t involve, or better said, didn?t come as a result of Mike Silver. Mike was a thrill seeker, a jokester and, most of all, a loyal friend. For those who believe there?s a grand balance to the universe, his passing is concrete proof: Mike elicited so many smiles from the people whose lives he touched that we have to say goodbye with great pain in our hearts.
Cindy, Sean, Renee, Mike Sr. and Nancy, thank you for welcoming me into your lives as Mike?s friend. The things that set Mike apart - his confidence, charm and generous spirit ? were nurtured with your love. I?m grateful for the many years of friendship and the lifetime of fond memories.

Dear Cindy and Bob:
We don't know what to say...Joe wore a stricken expression on his face this morning as he showed me Michael's picture in the paper. We looked at one another; our hearts just sank! We are so heartily and mightily sorry...I recall how proud you were of Michael and of all his accomplishments. I remember seeing Michael's image as he stood beside his equally attractive siblings in some family photos on a shelf in your office, and I recall of how you beamed as only a mother can when you spoke of his skills as both an entrepreneur and trader on the NASDAQ and also of his humility and his charitable nature towards others. I knew what a huge influence he was to Sean. Such a loss to all who knew this remarkable young man is incomprehensible! The balance he achieved in his life was quite admirable and something so few are able to do. Please know that Joe, Dina, and I are praying that you will find some comfort in knowing that your son did so much good for so many others. Cindy, please contact me when you feel up to it; I would like nothing more than to simply be there for you.

I am very saddened to hear about your loss. I worked with Mike at Knight Secs for 9 years and for the past few days have been going over in my head the good times that we and all the other co- workers at Knight shared. His smile would brighten up any room and I will never forget him. Mike Silver took me for my first ice skating lesson in Rockerfeller Center and I kept falling so he told me just lay there and I will drag you around the rink so you wont have to worry about falling and hurting your self. hahaha The world will truly miss him and his humor and wit.

Dear Silver family,
Where do you begin when you are talking about someone as dynamic and wonderful as Mike? There wasn't a person that I know of that came in contact with him that didn't immediately recognize that he was full of energy, was extremely bright and sincerely cared about his fellow man. He always had time for his friends, both new and old alike. He was generous and giving as is represented not just by his obvious donations of money and time to his favorite charitable organizations but to many who came into contact with him that were in any sort of need. One of the things I remember most about him is that Mike was passionate about everything he did! He never did anything half way warm smile. While Mike's life was clearly too short it was also extremely intense, an intensity and brightness that lightened many of our lives. Our loss is surely heaven's gain. With extreme fondness and admiration I will always remember "Silver."
All my best to you, his family and friends, during this difficult time.

Michael was a shining star in every way.
He was smarter than smart, funny, good-natured and had movie star good looks.
But out of all of his stellar qualities
and he had a lot of them
The ones that always amazed me most were his loyalty, kindness and his capacity to make everyone feel like he was their best friend. I will always remember how kind he was to me and my family and I will carry the laughs we shared through the years at Knight and Crown with me until that day when we will all meet again. People like Michael do not fade from memory. He will be sorely missed.
