Dear Members of the Silverstein Family,
I was saddened to learn the news that Joe Silverstein had passed away. Joe was my former colleague at Rutgers College when I first joined the Department of Political Science in 1975. I remember the kindness that Joe showed me as a young, junior member of the department. He and Lyn invited to a wonderful New Years Eve party the first year I was at Rutgers which was one of many pleasant interactions we had.
I remember Joe as always being very positive and having a smile on his face. He contributed great instruction and produced much important research on Myanmar and South East Asia.
My sincere condolences,
Warm wishes,
Eric Davis
