To the Family of Allan Sydney:

Our deepest sympathies to your whole family from Lou and Marc Simonini and everyone here at M & J Supply Co which is located across the street from the Former Sydney Supply. My father Lou and I would always enjoy when Allan would come across the street to visit from time to time. My father had just recently been asking at the Aurora Club if anyone had seen or talked to Allan recently. We miss seeing him and his words of wisdom. He will be in our Prayers.

Sincerly,

The Simonini Family and M&J Supply

Dear Mrs Sydney and the family of Allen Sydney:

I cannot extend to you enough my deepest sympathy and compassion at the loss of Mr. Sydney, who was a truly unique individual. He was a very bright, motivated man who loved his family, previous work and was so proud to continue attempts to always grow and learn. Mrs. Sydney gave him so many good years at the end due to loving dedication and time; which he realized and was very proud of. He would talk for hours about how he was so proud of is family and wife and how thankful he felt. Being his physician was an honor and a privilege; one I thank you for very much. I only hope in the end he did not suffer. I know he loved Costa Rica and visiting his loved ones there. He was a man rich in knowledge, love and compassion. May you all find some comfort that maybe he is in a better place and his remaining years following his illness were a blessing from you and especially Mrs. Sydney's love and devotion. I know and saw it all. I wish you all my deepest sympathy once again.
