I was deeply saddened to hear of Sid’s passing. When I moved to Naples Fl 20 years ago met him playing golf and we became very close. When he and Wilma moved back to Pittsburgh to be close to their daughters I was sad but, understood it was certainly the right move. Despite the distance we stayed close. We spoke multiple times a week and communicated via text or email or snail mail. 😁 He followed my teams and I followed the Pittsburgh teams. He was with out a doubt one of the nicest, kindest, generous, smartest, and most importantly funniest people I have ever known. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
