Sid was always such a pleasure to talk with. I am in a band with David Hinnant and practice at the shop. Sid and I talked about guitars a lot. He had a guitar that I had once owned just like his and it was our first topic of conversation. My deepest sympathy to the family. I know I will miss my guitar talks with Sid very much.
God bless.

Linda, Sterling and Derek I am so sorry to hear about Sid! I just recently found out about him being sick and just today about his passing. I will forever think of him and your family when I reflect upon my soccer years and will remember what a great man he was. Not only was he a good coach and role model to those of us that had to pleasure to play for him, but to me I always thought of Sid as a friend too! I know my dad enjoyed his friendship as well through out years! I will pray for your family. God Bless, Matt Reans
