Sid, was like a big brother to me. I have so many great memories of my time with him working C141s, playing spades on the dispatch truck, watching football at his house... He was truly a good hearted man and a very good friend. He will be missed by so many. Sid taught me a lot about aircraft maintenance, he was my mentor.
My condolences to Nancy and the family.
