Had the pleasure of working with Sid for many years at Verizon, from Largo, FL to Tampa, FL. He was always an encouragement to me and will be fondly remembered.
So sorry to learn of Sidney's passing. I was lucky enough to be his friend in the early '60's when we lived in St Pete. We went camping with his dad's Scout Troop 234 every month and I attended school with him at Roser Park. As a young man, Sidney already had a lawn business, had mastered gasoline engines, go-karts, boats and was adept at finding answers to questions that puzzled the rest of us - long before the days of laptops & smart phones. He was quick to contribute in class with amazing insight in so many areas. Sidney earned his Eagle Scout award before any of us. He was a very remarkable fellow and a good friend. I'm so very sorry to learn of his passing.
Donna, so sorry for your loss. Yes, Sid will be greatly missed. I’ll remember the good times and your kindness over the years. Sid was master boatman. He helped me reinforce the transom on my little boat and you would have thought he had done it hundreds of times, took me where we got the stainless steel, cut to fit, drilled holes and with a series of clamps squeezed out the water and injected it with a product that hardened, making it better than new. He always knew what to do.
Maggie and will remember dinners with Sid and Donna. And I will miss a friend who never failed to help me out. We love you Donna and feel your loss. Till we meet again in Glory.

Donna and family
Our thoughts are with you at this time.
Growing up, Sid and his family lived up the street from me. I knew him from school and swimming at the neighborhood dock. We are saddened to see his life end.

My deepest sympathies to Amma, Didi, Sherry, and the grandkids. We were privileged to be invited into your home and family on Easter and many other occasions. Sid will be missed by many. Love you all.
