Fred Silver passed away peacefully on June 4, surrounded by the love of his family. Beloved husband of Nona Silver and devoted father of Loree, Scott and Aine, Jeff and Connie, and Todd and Wendy Silver; loving brother of Bookie Greene; cherished grandfather of Daniell, Claire, Patrick, Amanda, Andie and Justin. Fred’s final chapter was filled with many blessings. He was able to witness and celebrate several important family milestones, including Daniell and Danny’s marriage in May and Amanda and Andie’s college graduations. He was determined to be present for these special moments, and we are deeply grateful that he was able to share them with his loved ones before experiencing a rapid decline in his health. Fred made a lifelong commitment to staying physically and mentally active. In his words, he always wanted to “make it happen.” Even into his 80s, he continued to play basketball and remained deeply involved in serving his community. He dedicated countless hours to organizations including the Olney Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club, AWL, Boys Home, Rebuilding Together and MedStar Hospital. We will remember the long, beautiful life he lived — a life filled with friendship, service, laughter and treasured memories. Memorial contributions may be made to the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County and the Rebuilding Together of Montgomery County. Services entrusted to Sagel Bloomfield Danzansky Goldberg Funeral Care.
