Jeffrey Edgar Silva

Son of Edgar Joseph Silva and Ann “Nancy” Ferguson, Jeff was born on November 2, 1957 and was raised in Cos Cob. After graduating Greenwich High School in 1976, he spent several years working for Callahan Brothers Moving Company before he began a more than 30-year career with Aquarion Water Company.

Throughout his life, Jeff loved spending the warmer months boating and being near the water. His favorite vacations were spent at Candlewood Lake with his kids, brother E.J. and nephews. In addition to boating, he equally enjoyed preparing for each snowplowing season and landscaping with his buddy Oscar. Above all, Jeff cherished the time he spent with his grandchildren. He was truly happiest when he was with them.

Jeff is survived by his fiancé, Sophia Scarpell; his children, Kylie Lulgjuraj (Peter Lulgjuraj) and Jeffrey Edgar Silva Jr. (Sofia Silva); his grandchildren, Emma Lulgjuraj (17), George Lulgjuraj (13), Derek Lulgjuraj (10), and Aria Silva (2); and his siblings, Albert Silva (Kathy Silva), Marylee Silva, Edgar Silva Jr. (Mary Silva), and Nancy Fischer (John Fischer).
