KARI,
Mary
Ethel
In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother, Mary Ethel,
who passed away one year ago today, January 6, 2006. In tears
we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts
were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw
you sleeping, So peacefully from pain, We could not wish you
back, To suffer that again. May the winds of love blow softly,
And whisper so you'll hear, That we'll always love and miss you,
And wish you still were here. Sadly missed and always remembered
by; Doug and Chrystal, Barb and George, Bev and Mike, Don and
Gillian, Donna and Ken as well as grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Full life's worth of big-hearted giving
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary writer, Page R2
People usually have only nice things to say about the departed
some of which might even be true -- but with Kelly
SILVERSTEIN
people always had only nice things to say about him.
He really was just the greatest guy. Always there for kids --
any kid, not simply his own two boys. He was the fundraiser you
could count on. And a coach for eight teams spread through four
different sports.
He was the brother who rescued his fraternity when it teetered
on bankruptcy. The volunteer who always raised the most money
every year at Big Brothers and Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake.
The parent who donated the Raptors tickets that pushed the bidding
over the top at the school auction. The Dad who slipped the school
principal a cheque for sports camp for an underprivileged student
he thought particularly talented.
So when SILVERSTEIN died November 20 at age 42 just four days
after he was diagnosed with leukemia, there was a shocked silence
throughout his Hillcrest community.
And people wept when they heard.
There was standing room only at Holy Blossom Temple -- more than
1,200 people attended. The line snaked around the corner, and
the service was 25 minutes late starting.
"You could feel it," said Rabbi John
MOSCOWITZ. "
There was a
sense the very best one of us had just died."
SILVERSTEIN's
Friends and family -- wife
Jill, sons Oliver and
Jonah -- were there, as were his fraternity brothers, his work
colleagues, the teachers from the schools where he coached, kids
from the teams he coached, but also the guy who worked in the
underground parking lot in the building that housed his office.
He was that kind of guy.
"He was a stand-up kind of guy," said Terry
KARIS, his barber
at the Forest Hill Barber Shop. The two talked about more than
the weather when
SILVERSTEIN came in for his camouflage cut --
short on sides, long on top -- to hide the hair thinning on top.
In the fall of 2005,
SILVERSTEIN invited
KARIS to a hockey old-timers
function.
"My son Adam was on the ice with Guy Lafleur. How good is that?"
said KARIS.
It got better, though.
KARIS had forgotten his camera and just
as he and his son were about to leave,
SILVERSTEIN hauled them
over to Lafleur and took their picture together.
"He found a camera somewhere, somehow, because he knew I was
a Montreal fan. And he wasn't even one. He put it in a frame
and gave it to me. I treasure that picture," said
KARIS.
"He was goodness personified," said Michael
KALLES, a fraternity
brother. "He gave his all to everything. He wasn't a guy who
asked you to lift a heavy piano and he carried the piano bench.
He'd be carrying 15 pianos." When they were students at the University
of Western Ontario together, it was
SILVERSTEIN who started Pi
Lambda Phi fraternity.
First they met in a bedroom, then
SILVERSTEIN got the idea they
should rent a house; then he decided they should buy one -- which
they did, choice real estate at the corner of Cheapside and Richmond
Sts. -- because he raised a ton of money.
He started a chapter at the University of Windsor as well.
"Kelly did all the heavy lifting,"
KALLES said. He mobilized
them to raise the $10,000 they needed to retain their charter
when their chapter got in financial trouble. "He would say that
we have to ensure that the frat would be around when our kids
wanted to join."
He was always doing it for kids.
"He really was as fine a person as you would ever meet," said
John HUNTER, principal of Hillcrest public school, where the
SILVERSTEIN sons had attended and their father coached.
He started the basketball team there -- for five years he called
practices for 7: 30 a.m. before he went to work. There was an
offer on the table for him to come back and coach again this
winter.
"He was so kind to the kids. He had a lot of trouble cutting
them (from the team)," Hunter said.
For four years he coached two hockey teams in the North Toronto
house league. For even longer he also coached two soccer teams,
as well as baseball and basketball teams. Basketball was his
favourite sport, possibly because he was six-foot-four.
He'd take his teams out for chicken wings; he'd sweep his sons'
Friends up along on their family outings.
"Lunch became dinner and then supper. It was always one more
invitation. That was the way it was with the whole family. They
were a team," said Elaine
LESNIAK, a single mom whose son, Ari,
14, had been Oliver's best friend until they went to different
schools.
That never stopped
SILVERSTEIN. "At the bus when the kids were
going off to camp, Kelly always made sure to give Ari a big hug,"
she said.
"Every time you are with him, you want to be with him more. You
are just drawn to him," said Ari.
Maybe he was just a big kid in some ways. He'd take the family
and their Friends to a Baskin-Robbins ice cream place, seat them
at the window and pay the kids $1 for every person they could
get to wave to them. "It was our job to get people to wave, in
a freezing cold night," Jill recalled.
SILVERSTEIN attacked life, reading three newspapers daily, tearing
out articles to send off to Friends. "We all got them with the
note: FYI, K.S.," said Bonnie
BLONDER,
Jill's best friend
since childhood.
As he was often first in the office of Davis + Henderson cheque
makers, he'd put on the coffee.
"Kelly just wanted to make sure everyone was happy," said Jill
with a smile.
He was the youngest of five children of Sonny and Marlene
SILVERSTEIN,
of Silverstein's Bakery. "He was always being picked up and cuddled,"
said his only sister Robin
SILVERSTEIN-
EISEN.
The family lived in a cul-de-sac near Lawrence and Marlee in
a house with a basketball hoop out front that was the centre
of activity for all the neighbourhood kids.
SILVERSTEIN often
took his own family back there.
"He called it our 'drive-bys,'" said Jill. "He'd always tell
the kids who lived in the houses. He wanted us to know about
the good things."
In 1998, SILVERSTEIN had returned to Toronto after working in
Atlanta when his mother was diagnosed with cancer. He postponed
finding work to be with her. It was as if he pushed himself to
get in a full life's worth of giving.
"This was just his thing -- to do for others," said family friend
Barbara SILVERSTEIN (no relation.)
"He was so decent. I have never met anyone like him."
"I can't tell you how many people phoned us to volunteer because
they heard about us from Kelly," said Heather
SPROULE, executive
director of Big Brothers and Sisters.
The day after
SILVERSTEIN died, her office received a donation
from him via the United Way. "I had no idea that beyond all that
he was doing for us, that in his usual quiet fashion he made
an annual donation through the United Way."
Next month there will be an award in
SILVERSTEIN's name at the
2007 Bowl for Kids Sake.
"We thought about it for less than a second,"
SPROULE said. "It
will be a fundraising award, which at the least is very fitting."
