Deceased Name: Silver , Thomas C. Silver, Thomas C. age 67, ended his persistent, ferocious,
and dignified battle with cancer on April 8. A lifelong resident of
Minneapolis, Tom was a Renaissance man, skilled in multiple areas and with a
broad base of knowledge, always surprising others with his expertise in big
pictures and miniscule details. Tom found meaning and passion in work,
automotive racing, artistic endeavors, and community involvement. Tom served
as owner and executive of 'Mail Handling Incorporated,' 'Liberty Envelope,'
'Bindery Express,' and 'Direct Marketing Group.' He worked with integrity,
creativity, and gusto until even his last week of life. Tom had a lifelong
interest in anything motorized, and that passion manifested itself in
everything from redesigning equipment at work, to restoring vintage
automobiles. He was passionate about long-course auto racing - and skilled
and lucky enough to have won many awards - through Canada (Targa,
Newfoundland) and Mexico (La Carrera Panamericana), as well as locally in his
Legend car. In the last year of his life, on a weekend with no chemotherapy,
he competed in his last 'La Chihuahua Express' race - racing 1200 miles in
three days - and he took home the first place trophy. Tom took joy in art and
design to a gamut of outlets - from creating silver ritual art pieces to
architecture and furniture design. There was no area of creativity at which
he could not be successful. Tom was an active member of Bet Shalom
Congregation, which fostered his spirit, allowed him to participate in fulfilling
many good deeds, and gave him an outlet for leadership skills. He was a board
member for many years, after which he served as president of the
congregation. Tom coordinated the construction of the congregation's new
building and was instrumental in its design. As importantly, he excelled at
building relationships with people. To honor Tom's multi-faceted building
skills, the honor of congregational Boneh (builder) was recently bestowed
upon him. Additionally, Tom was on the boards of the Minneapolis Jewish
Federation, and Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion. Above
all else, Tom cherished his family - he was a devoted son, a loving husband,
an adoring father, and a close-knit brother. Preceded in death by parents,
Dr. John and Grace Silver. Survived by wife, Anita (Lurye); children, Scott
David, Sarah Lynn, Alyson Jenna, and Andrea Jean; siblings, Nancy (Charles)
Reich, Sally Silver, Daniel (Myndal), and Rita (Russ) Sandstrom;
mother-in-law, Millicent Lurye Weinberg; special aunt and uncle, Pat and Jack
Galusha; many caring nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. Many thanks to
the skilled, caring, and compassionate health-care professionals who fought
side-by-side with Tom to quell his disease and extend his life: Dr. Cathleen
Chen, Tanya, Karen and Micki, Park Nicollet Oncology and Infusion Therapy
teams. Tom was fortunate to do what he loved, and to love what he did. As a
tribute to Tom, his family has established the Tom Silver Nekudot Fund at Bet
Shalom Congregation. Proceeds will be used to complete finishing touches
around the Temple - the special gift that Tom always had. Funeral service
SUNDAY, 3:00 PM at BET SHALOM CONGREGATION, 13613 Orchard Rd., Minnetonka.
