My deepest sympathies to the Silverman family. I have a warm spot in my heart for Oscar -- so very, very fond memories of the time I spent with your family, at Pindot. Oscar was always kind, welcoming and affirming of my efforts. I am thankful to have known him, and to have gained knowledge and skills because of him. Silverman family: May God bring you comfort and peace at this time.

So very sorry that you have lost such a wonderful person. He was always special to me and I had wished that my own father could have been more like Oscar.

Jonesy & I have many wonderful memories of Oscar. He was a kind, gentle, intelligent & caring man. I know that his many contributions to the field of orthotics/prosthetics and assistive technology have been appreciated by many. Thank you Oscar for all that you did and for being such a great guy. Jonesy and I feel very lucky & blessed to have spent time with you and your wonderful family.
