I met Sy and Star while Star was being treated @ the oncology office where I worked. What an amazing woman Star was and Sy was always such a support for her. I walked into the Virginia Piper Cancer Center this morning and was admiring a painting that was donated by The Sacks...a painting I had not looked at in awhile. I thought to myself that I should call Sy to see how he was doing. I found this notice this morning after thinking of Sy.
May he rest in peace with Star. What a wonderful couple!

Sy & Star were among our first friends after we arrived in Phoenix. We remember dinners with their family and the long and interesreting conversations about the state of the world and our new lives in our new place. Our thoughts are with their children and grandchildren. They lived good and fruitful lSandra & Diick Wilks

Sy was a terrific person, father, lawyer and friend. He was a professional mentor to many prior and existing members of his law firm, including yours truly. Goodbye old friend. You'll be missed by many.
