I a man so sorry for your families loss. Sid was a wonderful man. He was a long time supporter of the Safe Haven Museum and always felt how significant the story was. He helped to make sure the story continued to be told through his support.

Mother & I are saddened to hear of Sid's passing. He was always a Grand gent. He was good to my father when it was time for him to retire. Mother & Sid would joke about the Jewish guy & Episcopalian gal working the BINGO at Cat High for their kids. He was a fine fellow and will be missed by many.
