I have a proposal for us all in the interim- what if we all chip in and bet whatever his Derby selection would have been in memoriam? $5, $10, $20 each, can probably have DeRosa help set up an account specific for this. If it wins it goes to his kids/postmortem expenses.

Those wishing to honor Joe's memory and help his sons, should donate to the 'Joe Silverio Memorial Fund' memorial fund being administered through the funeral home.
If people want to bet Derby for Joe, please do it individually and donate winnings through this method. Joe Silverio Memorial Fund Rossi & Ditoro Funeral Home 501 Union St Schenectady, NY 12305

I am in for a wager in Joe's honor.
He was a real character, needless to say, but had a tremendous passion for the game and had really developed as a handicapper. Such a tremendous loss for his young sons and your heart really breaks for them. RIP.

You don't often see someone make an image comeback like RHT pulled off. I think it's fair to say that he was not taken seriously early on here at Derby Trail. But he stayed with it, got sharper, and slowly earned the respect of many. (Talk about long odds.) I really admired him for that.

As we did for Steve Dellinger after his untimely passing, and at the perfect suggestion of Hossy, RHT will be memorialized here with the Selections Room rechristened as the 'Joe Silverio Simulcast Center'..

Incredible idea Hoss and thank you Steve for facilitating it! The irony is deep that the room he was told to stay out of will now be named in his honor. Oh so fitting. He's been on the minds of many of us, whether we clashed or agreed with him. Looking forward to being a part of Philcski's group that he reached out to DeRosa for and helping his family realize the type of reach that the highly opinionated cat has!

Wow, how very sad. He was like an institution here, agree or disagree with him the passion was unmistakable always. So young, very very sad news. Prayers to his family. RIP Joey

Late on the news here... absolute shocker to think we won’t see RHT touting the latest Baffert or California 2yo later this year. I truly mean that - the passion he had for the game was unmatched.
Get them home safe, Joey. Exacta box: Game Winner, Roadster, Improbable
