Silvio Ferrari, 58, an advertising salesman for the Gloucester City News died December 23, 1992, in West Jersey Hospital, Camden, after a short illness.
“He enjoyed his work which was evident by how he did his job,” said Bill Cleary, Editor & Publisher, of Gloucester City News. He would go out of his way to service his customers, and he treated each one as a personal friend. A soft-spoken man he always greeted you with a smile and loved to laugh. Without a doubt, he will be missed by all of us who knew him.”
Previously he was a salesman for 25 years for the Patterson Dental Company in Philadelphia. A resident of Oaklyn, Mr. Ferrari was a borough councilman from 1976 to 1978.
He is survived by his wife Joan R.; two sons, Silvio and Christopher, and two daughters, Joan Rafferty and Rebecca Ferrari, all of Oaklyn. Also survived by three brothers, Rocco, Mario, and Arturo; two sisters, Mickey Cintorino and Dolly Scutti; and two grandchildren, Theresa and James Rafferty.
A Christian burial Mass was celebrated on Saturday at St. Aloysius Church, Oaklyn. The interment was at New St. Mary’s Cemetery, Bellmawr. Memorial contributions in his name may be made to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, ℅ The Children’s Hospital Foundation, 34th Street, and Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, 19104.
