He was an entrepreneur, he started five businesses- two transmission shops, a candy store, a nut and bolt store and a leather-craft business. He has advised a few men and women to start their own businesses. As a craftsman he built several houses. He loved the outdoors and to shoot black powder. Silas always was quick to smile and loved to eat out. He was in inspiration to many. He will be missed.
