Leon Silver

Leon proudly served in the Merchant Marine Service during World War II participating in the Battle of Normandy and the Army during the Korean War. He and his loving brother Lawrence (Babe) later worked together in their local Merchant Marine Veterans Chapter towards achieving formal recognition of its wartime contribution and sacrifice. He served as his chapter's secretary treasurer and editor of its newsletter.

 

Leon was an entrepreneur in a variety of fields including retail grocery and real estate sales and construction. He contributed decades of dedication and leadership in his synagogue's Monday and Thursday morning Minyan prayer group.

 

Leon spent the best 59 years of his life with his "Jule" and is now ready to join her.
