Sidney P Appel's Obituary
SIDNEY “SID” P. APPEL, 71, of Treasure Island, peacefully passed August 17, 2021. He was born December 26, 1949, in St. Petersburg, FL, where he lived most of his life. Sid was the beloved husband and best friend of Donna Appel, to whom he was lovingly married for 53 years. Together, they raised two wonderful daughters and had the great pleasure of watching their three grandchildren grow up. Sid was an outstanding businessman who rose to the top ranks during his 32-year career with Verizon, while mastering investing in Real Estate. One of his greatest accomplishments was being able to enjoy over 20 years of retirement with his friends and family. Sid was an amazing craftsman, who loved building or fixing anything he could get his hands on. He was an avid fisherman and never without a boat of his own, sometimes more than one! Sid was witty and had an amazing sense of humor and will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known him.
Sid is survived by his loving Wife, Donna Appel, Daughters, Diane Appel (Partner-William) and Sherry Carannante (Husband-Francesco) and Brother, John Appel (Wife-Terry). He will be dearly missed by his Grandchildren, Aidan, Gabrielle and Halle Read.
Sid was preceded in death by his parents, Russ and Claire Appel and sisters, Margo Appel and Ada Chalkie.
Sid’s wishes were that his survivors love, care for and look after one another as they grieve privately and in their own unique way. There will be no formal service.
