Senator Lieberman: “I was saddened to learn of the passing away of my good friend Ron Silver. Ron was a marvelous actor and a passionate progressive who profoundly grasped that the freedoms we cherish must be protected against the forces of tyranny, terror and evil. Ron was a patriotic activist who understood that our liberal values must be defended both at home and abroad. His enormous talents and energy for good will be sorely missed. Hadassah’s and my prayers, gratitude, and best wishes are with Ron’s family.”
