In May, 1982, he packed up his family and moved to Texas and settled in Houston. Silvano retired from Texas Produce as a delivery driver for 27 years delivering produce to stores across Houston.
He loved to garden and keep his lawn in pristine shape. He enjoyed taking his family when they were young camping in the mountains and enjoying the Sequoia Mountains Winter snow.
