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.
