Sid left us and went to be with the Lord on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at the Hospice of Lake Cumberland, Jean Waddle Care Center. Sid was born on February 28, 1937 in Knott County, KY to the late Sil Triplett and Clorindy Jacobs Triplett. Sid is survived by his devoted wife Jean Triplett.
Sid was a self-employed contractor for many years. He loved all outdoor activities; fishing, camping, hunting and boating, but his greatest passion was playing the guitar and singing at the lake. As a young man he formed his own band. Sid’s friendliness and kindness to all people is a tribute to his heart and soul. His presence will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
