SILVER, Carmen Lester - 69, passed away peacefully, December 28, 2005 at Southlake Regional Health Centre in New Market, Ontario, after a long and courageous battle with diabetes. Born in Barss Corner, Nova Scotia on February 14, 1936 he was the only son of the late Locke Silver.

Carmen was a wonderful friend who would do anything for anyone who needed his help. He loved to watch wrestling, talk and visit with old friends down home. When a child walked in the room, his beautiful blue eyes danced with warmth and love. It was difficult, in the later years, for him to play but he still became a child himself each and every time one came by for a visit, often taking them for rides on his scooter.Carmen is in a better place now and finally resting comfortably, for that his family is thankful. Dad, you will be missed and thought of fondly. God bless you!
