Portland Review - Sunday, July 10, 2011

January 14, 1932 - June 30, 2011
Thomas Campbell wrote "To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die." 
From June 30, 2011, Richard Lewis Silliman, "Dick", will live on in the 
hearts of those who love him so very much.

Born in Oneonta, New York in 1932, the so of Gertrude and Morton Silliman, 
Dick moved to Midland, Michigan in the late 1950's to work for the Dow 
Corning Corporation. He was employed for over 30 years as a Pension and 
Benefits Consultant. Dick loved to read and travel, but  most of all he 
loved his family and thoroughly enjoyed being with his grandchildren, 
including supporting them in their musical school, and sporting events. 
"Papa" rarely missed a game whether home or away.

Dick lives on in the hearts of friends and family-his wife of 31 years, 
Marlene Silliman; sons, Mark (Pam) Silliman, Scott Silliman, and Richard 
Rose Bissell; daughter, Diane Bissell; granddaughters, Samantha Rose and 
Chelsea Lynn Bissell; grandsons, Ryan, Thomas and Justin Silliman, John and 
Paul Carley, and Michael (Fiancé Naomi) Sinn; great grandsons, Ethan Sinn; 
and brother-in-law, Kenneth (Lulu) Downing.

Dick was gentle, kind and loving. Words cannot convey how much he will be 
missed.

A Family Memorial was held at the Schrauben-Lehman Funeral Home, Portland, 
MI July 6, 2011. For those desiring, memorial contributions may be made to 
the Alzheimer's Association in Memory of Dick. Online condolences may be 
made at www.schraubenlehman.com.
