Sydney Daniels Obituary

Professor Daniels was my beloved teacher at the Loop College in the mid-1980s. As a foreign student, he skilfully and enthusiastically gave me, among others, the foundation to speak proper English. I think of him frequently. RIP Sir!

Mr D was phenomenal at his craft of teaching speech development and presentation. Equally, as a theater director, his engagement was nothing short of excellence. His passion for theater was infectious; anyone encountering his vision for any given play he directed, felt compelled to deliver his or her best. My personal experience lead me to do things, in theater that I would have never considered much less participated like perform on stage and become a director of my own theatrical production. I hold the highest respect for him and in his memory, I continue to find my voice on stage.

Mr. D
Well done. Thank you for a great run.

Mr D was the best of teachers, counselors, and bosses... He opened my mind to many possibilities, inspired commitment, and always offered encouragement and a keen eye. I was there at the start of LCT, and considered my 2 years in the Theatre Department at Loop as a vital component to my successes.

I worked with Sydney on many shows at the Loop College Theater in the 70's. He was my teacher, my director, my mentor and my friend. I have him to thank for my deep love and appreciation for the Theater and the best years of my life! I never became a Broadway Star but on his stage, under his direction I did feel like one! Thank you, Mr. Daniels, with love, Rest In Peace.

My favorite professor at Harold Washington! He will be greatly missed!

You will be greatly missed.

Dear Sydney,
Frances and I will miss you and your annual keep up communication.
From the Clayton Side of your family.
