I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Uncle Sids passing!
He was a beloved member of our family,
very loved and always there. I remeber a time at Grammas house when he was holding my baby son Patrick in the kitchen, he didn't want to put him down, it's such a sweet memory, like it was yesterday. My heartfelt condolences to my Aunt Lorraine, cousins Stephanie and Michael and families.
I am so sorry to hear about Sid. He was one of my favorite co-workers and I like to say a friend as well. My sincere condolences to everyone in the family. I will miss his being. Love to all!
Lorraine and family … Sid was one of a kind. .condolences
