Obituary of Tommy Silva

Please share a memory of Tommy to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Silva, Jr., Thomas "Tommy" age 47 of Paterson at rest in Paterson on March 10, 2012. Beloved son of Juana "Jennie" (nee Martinez) and Tomas "Thomas" Silva Sr. of Paterson. Loving Father of Trevor Silva. Loving Fiance of Michelle C. Di Giorgio of Paterson. Dear brother of Marianne Silva-Dvorak and her husband Raymond of Paterson. Loving uncle to his niece and two nephews. Also surviving are many relatives in Spain. Born in Paterson, he was a lifelong resident of the city. He was the Owner/ Proprietor and Tattoo Artist for Dissent Tattoo, Haledon for many years. Mr. Silva was nominated for the Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award. The murals he painted have become local landmarks in the schools and neighborhoods. None of these murals have been defaced. The murals are an ongoing source of inspiration, education and beautification within the blighted urban environments. These murals teach young people that there are heroes who are not athletes and entertainers. These murals are now a part of the social fiber of the neighborhoods. Tommy also enjoyed playing the guitar, drawing, painting, cooking and reading. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral from the Festa Memorial Funeral Home, 111 Union Blvd., Totowa, on Wednesday at 9:15 AM. Funeral Mass to follow at St. Brendan R.C. Church, Clifton at 10:00 AM. Interment at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Totowa. Friends may call Tuesday 2-4 and 7-9 PM.
