Eugene ‘Pappa’ Silva
Oct. 16, 1941 – Dec. 28, 2016
Eugene Silva, eldest son of Edwin Ganansa Silva and Pauline Bukoski Silva. He is survived by wife Kathy; sons Gene Jr., Randy, Doug and Greg; Hawaiian brothers Nelson and Marina Silva and Kenneth and Amy Silva; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Geno, our “Pappa” Silva, passed away surrounded by his loving family of children and grandchildren, in comfort and was not in any pain upon his passing.
Geno attended Holy Cross School, Kalaheo. Upon graduating from Kauai High School, Pappa attended Kauai Technical School, starting his career as a professional welder. He worked for Grove Farm as a welder for a period. Geno also worked for Medeiros Poultry Farm for many, many years. While in Kauai, Geno had a son, Eugene, Jr. and he lived in Kalaheo for a while before moving to the mainland.
Once Geno moved to the mainland in California, he found a home in the Southern California community of Garden Grove. This is where he met his lifelong partner, Kathy, and her three young sons Randy, Doug and Greg. Pappa took over as a male role model for his new family in 1978.
Geno was a Kauaiian Boy and while you could take the “boy out of Kauai” you cannot take the “Kauai out of the boy.” His daily routine was to open The Garden Island newspaper and read it from cover to cover.
Family was so important even in his last few hours to be surrounded by his wife and California family were everything. The joy of getting messages from his Hawaiian brothers brought tears to the eyes as Kenneth and Amy Silva Facetimed Pappa. Messages followed from family from Seattle to the Islands as we all celebrated a great life.
Pappa had put together an extensive workshop. His man cave was a carpentry welding workshop located in the backyard at his home. He was often found cutting out wooden templates supporting all of Kathy’s projects, including tole painting arts and crafts. He had a long list of “honey-do’s” as the house was full of ladies doing all kinds of home art. The ladies loved to walk out to the shop to have Pappa do small projects for them.
Professionally, Geno worked for years within the welding and metal fabrication for Golden West Homes. After Golden West Homes, Pappa was a senior construction supervisor utilizing his many skills from welding to carpentry. Geno then decided to work within the swimming pool industry as a senior project manager and logistical supply support. Pappa was well-liked within the business community of Southern California.
E hele me ka pu’olo. Aloha Pappa. Mahalo for the lives you have enriched.
