We enclose below a tribute to Silva, written by his children:
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father Tunumafono Pasetto Silva.
Son of the late: John Lemisio & Tafale Solita Silva.
Loving & Loyal Brother to: Betty, Roger, Tunumafono Raymen, Rudy, Martha and Roberd.
A devoted partner to Hana Tusa, loved and cherished father to Lemi, Perofeta, Johnwhite, Florence, Ramona, Tusifolau, Tuna and Fata.
Most importantly the best Papa to Decodah, Qrisnan, Qryslah, Perofeta Jnr, Lemi Jnr, Malakhai, Princeton, Qymora, Meshaq, Asha, Tarisa, Harley-Rose
and Anayah-Rose.
Although our hearts are aching, we take comfort in knowing that our Dad had all his loved ones waiting for him on the other side with open arms.
Dad was the definition of a “father” who was kind, hard-working,
humble and selfless. There is nothing that he wouldn’t do for us and our children. He was a father figure to many.
Dad had a heart of gold and served selflessly in his church and community.
More details to follow in the upcoming
days.
Faamolemole taofi le malo
Faafetai lava.
