Sid was a wonderful brother, gentleman, and avid ACC basketball fan. He was smart, hard working and put his children first. He was a dermatologist who specialized in skin cancers. He was trusted and well liked by thousands of patients over his practice career. I will miss him very much. He goes now to be with our Mother and Father who proceeded him.
