Sidney Black Obituary

Dear Lynne, Jennifer and family,



Debbie and I are so sorry to learn of the death of Sid. We know from personal experience how difficult this must be for all of you. I'm not sure you know this-but Sid operated on my mother many years ago (probably over 40). The fact that he touched so many people's lives is testimony to his legacy that will live on.

To the Black Family:

I have known Dr. Black as my surgeon, and his kindness & concern

will not be forgotten. He helped me through a very difficult period in my life, & I will always be grateful to him for his optimism, his advice & his support. I am doing well now--it's been twenty-five years!However, I will never forget all the time he afforded me,all the questions he answered.

You are all in my thoughts & prayers, & I know you are forever blessed with the memory of an extraordinary man.

With my deepest sympathy,

Sherry Reisman

To the Black Family:

I was a patient of Dr. Black's in the 80's, & I am grateful to have had him for my physician. He was concerned, kind and thoughtful.

He truly went above & beyond, even calling our home at night to give test results as soon as he knew them, as he "did not want us to worry." The best gift of all, just prior to his retirement, was to choose Dr. Robert Rosen as his associate. I could tell, once again, that Dr. Black had put a great deal of thought into his patients' welfare, as he chose another doctor with the same commitment & concern to carry on. You left your practice in good hands, Dr. Black, & for that I thank you, as well. You will be sorely missed, but you made a tremendous contribution, and you will not be forgotten.

With sincere sympathy,

Dear Lynne and family,

I first met Sidney when he was interviewing me for a position as a staff member at Highland Park Hospital. At the time I was 8 months pregnant with my second child and he treated me so kindly. There were no trick questions or haughtiness that sometimes comes with such committees. In the first year I was on the staff, he introduced me to many people at the hospital. He is a gentleman and a scholar and will always be remembered fondly by those who knew and worked with him. Sincerely, Ruth Guth, M.D.

Dear Mrs. Black:



My wife and I share in the deepest sorrow in the death of your husband Sidney.



As long as I have known him and worked with him as a surgeon my opinion of him was of a very honest, sincere and educated person.





Sincerely,

To the Black family,

Linda and I want to offer our condolences to Mrs. Black and the entire family on the loss of a great man, physician, surgeon, teacher and friend. He was my instructor in anatomy when I was a freshman in medical school. He became my mentor and friend through the Department of Surgery and in the Warren H. Cole Society. His generous and congenial spirit permeated his relationships. He is fondly remmebered and will be sorely missed. May the God of all Comfort sustain and comfort you.

Dear Lynne,

I am so sorry about Dr. Black's death. He was a very unusual Doctor because he cared so much for everyone.

He operated on my two sons and myself and we all loved him. Even my retarded son Bernie still asks about Dr. Black but I will not tell him about this - it would break his heart.

My condolences to all your family

I am so sorry for your loss. It is very hard to lose a parent. I believe there is comfort in knowing that his suffering is over. You are in my thoughts at this difficult time.



Take care,

To The Blacks: Lynne, Jennifer, Marjorie, Brian, Neil…





I am sorry to hear of Dr. Black’s (“Uncle Sidney’s”) passing. Hard to believe almost 10 years have passed since my father passed away (The late Dr. Goldberg). Time and change have surely showed e.g. Skokie Valley Community Hospital, Rush North Shore Medical Center, The Birchwood Club, Seven Forty, The Chicago Botanic Gardens, and The Nation’s media anchors and reporting as a whole. Last but not least, The Ohio State University Buckeyes vs. The University of Michigan Wolverine Rivalries. Dr. Black and the late Dr. Goldberg were good friends and respected colleagues.
