I want to thank everyone who has left a message here. I recognize the names of the women with whom my father swam at the Greewich YMCA, because he spoke so fondly of all of you. He always told me who was vacationing in an exotic locale; who was having a new baby; who was taking a cooking course; and so on!
Naturally, I recognized your name, Liz. Whenever my dad and I went into Mcdermott paint, he would tell me about your family's contribution to Pathways!
I am very grateful that...

Syd and my parents were instrumental in starting Pathways. He was my social worker at some of the lowest times in my life. I will be forever grateful that he came into my life. I am sorry for his family as I know he loved them all as much as he loved life.

Dear Furie Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sid was a wonderful, kind, and funny man. He was so precious. I would swim with him at 5am and when he told me when his bithday was well we had to have a YMCA party each year. He will be so missed he loved his family very much and was so proud of you. His whole life was giving to others he had such compassion. He was a inspiration to me very day and was very gifted in making you laugh. I will miss him very much.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sid was an amazing, inspiring man. I spent many mornings with him in the pool. He always had a smile on his face when he'd come wobbling out of the locker room. I enjoyed our conversations and will forever remember him.
