I too had just belatedly learned of dear Barney Silverman's death. 
With great sadness and fond memories I read all the other messages which used the words I was planning to. 

I came to Barney after the child-bearing time, with the problems that come to women during that period.  He always made time to listen, really listen, and the way he conducted the periodic exams was perfect.  Polite! gentle! kind.  I always thought of him as a gentleman, a gentle man.  Certainly a mensch.  It was very comforting to consult with him.  He seemed to have all the time in the world for me, when we both knew that was hardly the case.

I was sorry for me that he was retiring but hopeful that it would be a wonderful time for him, as he did mention his wife and children so positively and lovingly. 

 With sorrow for your great loss,   Judy Klein

I just read about Barney's passing yesterday online.I still remember him holding my hand as a little girl and teaching me how to cross the street at the traffic light in front of the Hub Store!! Although time and distance have separated the family I will always remember my "BARNEY THE TIGER!"

I so saddened to read of Dr. Silverman’s passing. He was my doctor for over 40 years and I found him to be a kind, compassionate and intelligent gentleman. He was always quick with a smile to put his patients at ease. My third delivery was with him and it ended up being a very long haul and when his shift was over he said he was not going anywhere until the baby arrived! My husband and I were both comforted by his presence and professionalism. 

My condolences to his family of which he was extremely proud and always quick to share stories of his children and grandchildren.  God bless all of you.

There are so many wonderful memories that are going through my mind as I think of dear Dr Silverman.  He was always so pleasant and kind to his patients and a added bonus to all of us who worked with him.  Just the act of his kindness of bringing bagels to all of us on Wednesdays--so special! We all appreciated his efforts--just the thought that he had to make an extra stop before coming to work on a his busy Wednesday meant so much to us.  He would pull that shopping cart---filled to the brim with bagels with a smile on his face. He would even let us know if he would be on vacation so we wouldn't be disappointed! To his dear family, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious husband and father--He brought so much joy into the world. Psalm 29:11  Sincerely, Evelyn DiMaio

Dr. Silverman was my doctor for 38 years.
I have tears in my eyes when i think of him. W had such a personal relationship just like all his patients im sure.
Medicine has changed and it has become less personal. So to a large extent that era is gone.
I am truly sad
My since condolences to his family
Sincerely
Lynn Weinstein


Dr. Silverman was my doctor from the time I was 19 up until he retired.   He was my doctor for 40 plus years.  I am 68 years old now.  

I just heard of his passing today.  He was a wonderful, caring doctor.    He  would go above and beyond.   Such a good man.   I will never forget how kind and what good care he took of me. 

My sympathy to his family.  May he RIP.

I worked with Dr. Silverman since 1982 in WPH L&D. He was an amazing Physician who could handle anything, a gentleman, a trusted friend, a kind man, and a patient teacher! We all adored Dr. Silverman, who brought us bagels and all the fixings every Wednesday for decades-even after he retired as I recall! He was loved and respected by those he worked with  at WPH. He was one of a kind and I have very fond memories (as we all do) of my years working with him.  He taught me so much when I was a novice nurse. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. 
Sincerely,
Jane Ciaramella

To the Silverman family:  we are so saddened by the loss of Dr. Silverman.  He was a special individual, both as a physician and as
a fellow congregant at TIC.   He will be deeply missed.  With all our
sympathies, Bruce and Laurie Henkin


I had the privilege of sitting 2 seats in front of Barney at morning minyan since we moved to Westchester almost 4 years ago. He made me feel welcome. We have missed him since morning minyan went online. A true mensch. 

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Silverman's passing.  I was a patient of his for over 30 years. He was a delightful man from the beginning, a person I trusted, who I knew cared for me as a person as well as a patient.  He always had a smile and seemed genuinely glad to see me.  He listened to my issues and offered guidance, at times helping me through his friendship to manage difficult times.  He was the nicest, kindest man I've ever known.  At my last visit, I told him, simply, that there is only one Dr. Silverman.  I've missed him as my doctor;  I will always miss him as a wonderful human being.  My condolences go to his family and wide circle of friends and colleagues. 

I remember Barney as a very passionate man. He was passionate about his family, his Jewish identity and Israel and his profession in that order. He will always be know for doing the right thing even if it was not the easiest.  He cared for or delivered three generations of my family. He was a true mensch and a role model for us all.

I had  the privilege of knowing Barney as a colleague for several decades. We co-managed quite a few patients, all of whom raved about him, and none of whom had anything negative to say (how many doctors can say that?).  I also served with him on the WPH Credentials Committee for a number of years. His bow tie immediately identified him as an iconoclast, and it was therefore unsurprising that he often had an unusual and thoughtful insight to share with the rest of us, always delivered with wit and a disarming if sometimes subtle grin. I am so sad to hear of his passing. He was truly a presence, and a warm and wonderful human being. I extend my deepest condolences to the Silverman family.

We shared call nights for many years & when my partner, Mel Padawer, became ill, Barney couldn't have been more helpful nor more concerned about us. Having been the "competition" across the street, Barney never complained about coming in at 2 AM to help with a Csection. He was always there for me, with a smile on his face, some words of wisdom or a bagel to sustain me! In fact, he was there with bagels for the whole hospital! In OB/GYN nothing is ever routine, but one thing we could always count on was Dr. Silverman and his bagels every Wednesday morning.  He will be missed & his memory will always be cherished.

Dear Ruth, 
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Your husband Barney. He delivered both of our children Julia and Will and gave us such confidence on both of those life changing days. He was a warm, kind and lovely man as well as a wonderful Doctor. 
May his memory be a blessing.
Patti and Martin Whalen

Barney was one of the most caring physicians I have known - loved by both patients and colleagues.  He was a mentor to me as well as a treasured friend and will be greatly missed.
My condolences to the family

Ruth,

We were so sorry to hear of Barney's passing.

Our sincerest condolences to you and your entire family.

Marcia and Richard Stern



Your family is in our prayers as you mourn your loss, we often speak of Barney very fondly. It was a joy coaching rec football with him—-he frequently coached  his running back to “take it wide”!

My wife, Linda, and I are so sorry to hear about Barney.  We had the privilege of having Barney deliver both of our beautiful children, 26 and 24 years ago.  He was a gentle and caring physician.  Our heartfelt condolences to the entire Silverman family

I am honored to have known Barney Silverman as a member of the White Plains Hospital Credentials Committee. Known for his wit, wisdom and passionate opinion, he will be missed. My deepest sympathy to the family. 

It was  a  privilege to have known and worked with such an intelligent, dedicated and warm physician.  Barney Silverman will be missed and never forgotten. 
Please accept my heartfelt condolences 

Seth 

I was sorry to hear of his passing. He was the consummate physician,  smart, kind, and always a gentleman. He will be sorely missed.

I am honored to have known Barney as a member of the White Plains Hospital Credentials Committee and as a member of the 7:00 AM coffee time at the hospital. Not only a wonderful  MD but a colorful, passionate and thoughtful medical colleague. Always kept us in good spirits even during a disagreement. He will be missed.

Barney was a mentor and colleague in my early days on Labor and Delivery.  I hope that the Silverman family is comforted by knowing that on all those call nights and weekends which took  him away from you - he was making a powerful difference in countless people’s lives. He was not just liked- he was loved. 

I have most fond memories of Barney.  I came to know him well through the Westchester County Medical Society. He was an excellent mentor and was encouraging and supportive of me at the Medical Society. He was a passionate defender of the medical profession and was a great President of the Society. You could feel his passion for his work and his commitment to his patients.  He will be missed. Rest in peace Barney. 

Ruth -
I am so sad to hear this news. I loved working with Barney for so many years - he was kind,  respectful and compassionate ... such  a great colleague.  He will be sorely missed! Sending condolences and love to you and your family. 

As a pediatrician in White Plains,  I had the pleasure of working with Barney in the delivery room on may occasions. He also served on the Credentials Committee of WPH which I chaired for many years. I always appreciated his wisdom, wit and common sense. My condolences go out to the entire family and especially to Josh on the loss of his father. Also to Sam and Maxine who I have the honor of serving as their pediatrician. May Barney rest in peace.  

So sorry to learn of Barney’s passing. May you be comforted in your memories of him. 

My deepest condolences to Ruth and the entire Silverman family

Barney and I used to sit by each other daily at Temple Israel and lingered after services to exchange family news. 

He was a real mensch. May his memory be for a blessing (z”l).  



I had the honor of knowing Barney for many years as a colleague at White Plains Hospital and the spouse of a patient. Barney was  beloved by his patients for his work ethic, concern and compassion. My wife has missed him since he retired; it is hard to find physicians who can match his expertise and dedication to his patients.
I will miss his wry sense of humor.
The world has lost a good and honorable person. 

Hi Ruth

Just want to offer my most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Barney was very loved especially by all his patients - I heard about it all the time from them!!!

He will be missed.

Nicole 

My deepest condolences to the Silverman family.
Barney was a warm and compassionate physician with a great smile and a wonderful sense of humor.



Barney was my doctor and my friend, a steady and thoughtful presence.   Heartfelt condolences to Ruth, Sarah, and Joshua.  May his memory be for a blessing.

Our deepest sympathies to Ruth , Josh, Sarah and the rest of the family.   Barney’s  compassion and passion  for  others will be missed. Will always remember sharing coaching duties for our daughters’ elementary school basketball teams.

He will be remembered by all who knew him. 

Dr. Silverman was my gynecologist, obstetrician and a member of my synagogue for over 43 years. I got to know different sides of him in his many roles in my life. RIP Barney, my dear, sweet, caring friend and physician.

Our sincerest sympathies go out to Ruth and the entire Silverman family. 
Barney was kind and  compassionate and will be missed by all who knew him.
