Ed Silliman died peacefully at his home in San Marcos on July 6, 2019.
Ed was born Nov.16, 1930, in Sanger, Texas, the first child of Hazel Toon and Paul Silliman. Due to the Depression, Ed, his parents, and younger sister, Louise, lived with his grandparents, where his grandfather, Buford Toon, a well-known newspaper editor, had a great influence on him.
When Eddie — as he was then called — was five, the family moved to Dallas where he attended school in Highland Park. He was involved in the Methodist Youth Fellowship at University Park Methodist Church where he developed many life-long friends.
