Dear Jenny, Mia, Sabrina, and Family,

Our hearts are with you during this hard time. Emidio had a way of lighting up any room he walked into—his presence, his energy, and his joy were truly one of a kind. He was full of life, always a pleasure to be around, and he made every moment brighter simply by being himself. We will miss him deeply and cherish all the wonderful memories we shared together.

With all our love and deepest condolences,
Giulio, Itala, Alessia, Bianca, Giuliano

Emidio was a good and loyal friend for almost 40 years. He once offered and loaned me the car he was selling when he learned mine was going into the shop for a week or more, so I didn't have to pay "good money" to rent a car. 

He added insight, ideas and life into every situation. Right or wrong, but generally right, he'd done his research and had a position. 

He was an idea man and was able to implement his ideas and motivational character to manage and encourage others to help him develop a successful business. "What better city in the world to have an air-conditioning company?", he said while starting House Pro. And after he attended a meeting of AC business owners noticed that the overwhelming majority were more repairman types then sales-oriented businesspeople. Which is where Emidio saw his advantage. And he was right. Which he liked to be! But don't we all? 

We're all in this physical universe of God's play and like Emidio will soon exit the stage. But his exit was too soon, and we'll all miss Emidio's entertainment quality that few possess. When I meet Emidio next, we'll pick back up where it ended and continue a friendship beyond time and space. Isn't that God's eternal plan?

From Kevin McFarlane Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Heartfelt sympathy to the Silvestri family. I first met Emildo in the late 1970s through his family and we became friends instantly I always remember him as quite the jokester and always making people laugh. And quite the competitor one we would play ice hockey. Afterwards, he would always say good game that was fun. my sympathy goes to his wife and children, as well as his mother and his late father and his brothers Ray and Claudio. We all had a lot of fun up here in Canada and he will be missed. I love you, man

I just found out about Emidio  this morning . I flipped . brought tears to this mans eyes even now. and that takes a lot . he is going to be sadly missed big time . his laugh and his sense of humor and his words of wisdom . I remember the other day Emidio sent me a picture of myself out for a walk wearing a tie-dye shirt saying ah a Rainbow shirt eh . I didn't know ? 

I came back with a comment and he said ah getting aggressive eh . liked to try to get me going . I have had many great memories hanging around with him and they will never be forgotten . and neither will he ever be forgotten . may you rest in Peace my Friend .

I am grateful to have known Emidio, although it was for a short time, with that said I am offering to his family, my families most heartfelt condolences. Emidio acknowledged me whenever we were in the same bunch, my most recent experience was at a charity function in Brenham, I had not seen him in quite a while, and we spotted each other, and it was like we were just visiting yesterday.  although I do not recall meeting his wife, Jenny and their daughters Mia and Sabrina I know their values are as Emidio's.  
My most vivid memory is years ago when a group of guys from Houston came to Columbus and spent several days at my friend, Jim Steins ranch and that is where I first met EMIDIO, an awesome man who touched every life he encountered. see you again, my friend! Montie Holladay-Columbus Texas.

E,

You were the big brother I never had!  I will always value our friendship and treasure the many memories over the years!  Mia and Sabrina you are your father's "shining stars" he always spoke so highly of you both!  Jenny, you are E's rock!  His love for the three of you is without limits.

Love You Man!

-CO

He always drew a crowd when he came home to visit

Great memory of our F1 Austin trip with great friends  October 22, 2016

Dear Jenny, Mia, and Sabrina, I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you comfort in each other. I know your dad’s /  husband’s love is with you always and forever. My deepest condolences. Cathleen (Defever) Mahajan

It was sincerely a shock to hear of Emidio’s passing. 
Our condolences go out to Emidio’s wife and children

Benny and Bella Rogano

We are saddened beyond words to hear of the sudden passing of Emidio.
He will be remembered for his ever-ready smile, his infectious sense of humour, his unique ability to make people feel special, and most of all, for his love and devotion to his family and friends.
Zio “Midio” made Pimlico Drive and, I imagine, wherever he was,  a special place whenever he was in town!
Our heartfelt condolences to Jenny, Mia and Sabrina as well as the entire Silvestri family. 🙏
He will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry and shocked to hear of the passing of Emidio. I remember what a wonderful kind host he was when we visited Ross in Houston. He meant so much to us for being such a wonderful and caring friend. He watched over Ross and became very good friends. Thank you to  you,Emidio and we will continue our prayers for his wife and children. He watched out for Ross on earth and he will continue  to watch over him in heaven. Rest in peace🙏

This is horrible news. Our hearts go out to Emidio’s family and friends. I first met Emidio when Claudio invited me for dinner after McMaster football practice. Little did this naive 19 year old mangia cake kicker know that he was about to be initiated into the Silvestri vortex of food, love, laughter, debate, and unprecedented ______ busting. At these gatherings, Emidio always made sure I was comfortable and not too overwhelmed. His kind, gentle, loving soul is an inspiration and shining example of what is best in all of us!

Emidio Is a piece of my adolescence! I have many memories...and I remember his very vibrant character. I am so saddened to hear the news of his passing.  I send my deepest condolences to all the Silvestri family and I hold you all in my prayers! May he eternally Rest in Peace.  Ciao Emidio! ❣️

We are so sorry to hear the devastating news on the loss of Emidio. Our hearts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Sending our deepest condolences. May you rest in eternal peace Emidio. Love Marco & Jessica Testaguzza

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.  Gone too soon.  May he rest in peace with the angels.

Our sincere condolences about Emidio.  May his memory be eternal and prayers to his loved ones.
Bill and Popi Bistas and Family

Emidio was the EPITOME of amazing. He was very funny, kind, and down to earth. I never passed an opportunity to high-five him. We always had amazing conversations, whether it would be about sports (football and auto racing), work, family, food, etc. He always found a way to make me laugh. Emidio, you will always be in my heart ❤️ ❤️ 😘😘😢 😢

I cannot understand how this mischievous little boy could grow into a man who loved his beautiful young daughters so fiercely and then leave us so suddenly… I hold your dear family in my heart and prayers…
Cousin Elena

Emidio, you were the EPITOME of amazing. Very funny, kind, and down to earth. I truly enjoyed our conversations about many things, especially football and auto racing, whether it was in Ontario at a relative's house or in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. You always found a way to make me laugh. I'll miss you lots, cug! 🙏 🙏 ❤️ ❤️ 😢 😢

Our hearts go out to Jenny, Mia, Sabrina and the entire Silvestri family during this very difficult time. Sending you condolence and keeping you all in our prayers. May Emidio rest in eternal peace.
