Dear family of Uncle Sid, I’m sorry for the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather.
I know the pain and suffering that family’s go through with such a loss, as I was with my dad
Ivan at his time of death and it seems unbearable at times. I wish I could have been there but my health isn’t very good. Anyway Uncle Sid was such a good guy and never heard say anything bad about anyone
Once again mom and I want to wish our deepest condolences for the whole family…
Papaw, you were such a great man and you made me the woman I am today. You were so good to me and my brothers and we share the best memories of fishing and riding on the tractor with you. You were so much more than a papaw, you were a dad and a best friend to me. You’re already so missed, but I know ill see you again someday. I love you, papaw.
My deepest condolences to all of you during this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family to get through these days ahead.My respect for Sid as a veteran who served his country well with great courage and patriotism. His love for animals and desire to go fishing anytime because he knew if there was a fish to be caught … he was going to catch it, are just a few of the fond memories I have of him along with his well known auto mechanic abilities, and his love for the Ford automobile. May you rest in peace, Sid.
