Has there ever been a better Papa? I cannot think of one. From shouting out “Pooper!” to grandchildren while working at Sears, singing and bouncing babies on his arm, telling stories, fishing, attending countless events with a proud smile and great hugs, Papa was a warm presence. Thank you Sid for all you have done for the family. I love you.

Shalom

Sid was such a remarkable man. His kindness, hospitality, wit, and storytelling will go unmatched. We have so many fond memories of visiting at Shag. A true highlight of each summer. His warm smile, laughter, and kind manner will surely be missed by al.

I worked with Barbara in the personnel department at Monogram Models in the 1970’sand knew Sid through her. Unfortunately, over the years we lost touch and I have always regretted that. Sid and Barbara were wonderful people: kind and blessed with a great sense of humor. I am sorry for your losses but want you to know that they were unforgettable people
