In Memory of Paul Silveira, MOSI Volunteer

Paul

I am sorry to share that Paul Silveira, MOSI’s long time friend and volunteer, passed away on Sunday, March 27th

As many of you know, Paul had been a Thursday afternoon regular in the mailroom for many, many years.  For nearly 30 years, Paul was a regular and enthusiastic part of MOSI.  When he was assigned to MOSI as a Hillsborough County security officer, he quickly became a part of the MOSI team and we left each night knowing MOSI was in his good hands.  Even after being moved to a downtown assignment in the late 80’s, he unfailingly volunteered at MOSI almost every Thursday afternoon. 

Paul had recently retired from the County and was beginning to enjoy his retirement.  I will miss his weekly visit to my office to borrow my keys to retrieve copy paper for the 4th floor.  I will really miss his smile and our 30 years of conversation and dueling puns.  Paul was never a MOSI employee but he was truly a member of our MOSI family.

His email address said it all-  PAULMOSI@aol
