Read MoreI have such nice memories of Uncle Sidney both with my grandmother, Anna D'Amico, and my own. He was the designated driver for my grandmother and his sisters. They had many adventures! I also think of him everyday as I pass the framed wedding invitation that he gave us as a gift when we married 10 years ago. It was such a thoughtful gift. I will remember Uncle Sidney fondly.

Dennis & Family,
I was so sorry to learn of the passing of your father and that I had missed the service. Mr. Sydney was one of our favorite customers at Landry's Restaurant. And remained one of mine at II Tony's. I will always remember him with a smile on his face. He will truly be missed. You all are in my prayers.

My heart is so heavy on the lost of Sidney
because even though I am so far away from
the family my love is always with each and everyone of you.
Just this morning at church we were asked to put all those we wanted to remember at mass tomorrow so I put down the Degan Family, the Formigue Family and the
Chrestia Family ..... my heart was just broken to open the obituries and find we all had lost a great person in Sidney.
My love and prayers are with you as always.

My Dearest Joanne:
Thinking of you during what I know has to be a truly difficult and heart-wrenching time. I was so glad that we were able to talk about your daddy and how he was doing ... Just last week!
I know you and Rocky will miss him terribly - I know he's watching over you.
My deepest and most sincere thoughts reach out to you during this time!
