Sid was a great guy and he and I worked together for years as I designed his stores. we had our differences but still were good friends and business partners- so to speak. I admired him a great deal.

It is truly a jolt for me to hear about the passing of Sid who I actually hadn't seen since the 70's. He was such an important part of my life in my twenties. I (along with Judy Lovold) was secretary to Sid, Sam, Hy, Hash, Abe, Meyer and Steve both on Vandalia and then on Plato. Sid put up with my taking off on adventures & then hiring me back again.

I first met Sid in the early 1970's at his store on Jefferson Ave. in St. Paul. Later when I was working in the Midway shopping center he remembered me and let me buy banana boxes of unlabeled canned goods for $2.00 because he remembered me. He knew I was struggling financially to feed my family. He didn't charge me because he needed the money, rather it was to let me keep my pride.
He was a generous person, sweet and kind. I'l always remember that about him.

I caddied for Sid and his wife almost 50 years ago. After the round he and his wife came to the caddie master and advocated for me to promoted to A caddie status. I was stunned that a successful business man like him would take the time and effort to help a poor East Side kid. Thank you for your kindness and God bless you.
