Sidney's Song

Last Friday this world said goodbye to one of the most wonderful souls.  Sidney was an amazing man who had led a long and fulfilling life.  He brought so much joy to all those who knew him.  I only had the pleasure of knowing Sidney for the past nine years, but it was throughout this last year and a half that I really felt that connection with him strengthen.  As I watched him light up whenever my son (his first great-grandson) enter the room I got a glimpse of who Sidney was many, many years ago.  He was an intellegent man, a kind-hearted man, a man who took the time to enjoy the littlest things in life like his daily cigar and a man who loved to sing.

Sidney will be missed by those who knew and loved him.  We will remember him and his wonderful ways.  And it is through his grandchildren and great grandchildren that he will live on forever.  In our hearts I hope to always hear Sidney's song.
