As a young man of 18 I went to work for Woodstock and have many fond memories of walking back to the private office of Sid, Dick and Max.
I was always greeted with a smile from Sid and was asked how my day was.
Throughout the years whenever I would see Sid usually at a restaurant with Bob and Renee and grandchildren, I was always greeted by that same smile and concern.
It was a pleasure to have known him.
My thoughts are prayers are with you all.
