Not sure what to say?

Sharon, we just heard of Sid's homecoming. Joe and I remember Sid fondly from the early days at Gulf to Lake Baptist. He always had a smile! Peace be with you.

Sharon and family, as you know Sid was a one of a kind guy, always a gentleman, fun loving and a friend to all he met. I never had a flight with him or Sharon that wasn't a true pleasure. I've told many people over the years that if there was one pilot I wanted to be like, it was Sid. My heart was broken when I read of his passing because I know the world is a little bit dimmer without his shining light.

You and Sid were so , much fun to fly with ! Ron and I both have such wonderful memories . He was tender hearted and great Christian .
He touched everyone he met and left a lasting impression.
I know you will find peace in that you were able to share your life with him .
Love , Sherry ( Mitchum) Verner

I was saddened to hear of Sid's passing. I first met him as a S/O on the DC-8. He was flying copilot then and a pleasure to fly with. Over the years our paths crossed many times and he always had a smile an his face and chuckle in his voice. Maybe one day we will get to fly together again in the Great Beyond. I hope so.... Rest in peace my friend.

Sid was one of those guys whose name on a crew list brought a smile to your face, as you knew you were going to have a pleasant trip. He was one of those folks who made my career at Delta so meaningful. Highly competent, a good fellow, and a true professional all describe Sid.

On behalf of the Delta Golden Wings, we would like to offer our condolences to his entire family. As a member of DGW, Sid showed his devotion to the pilot fraternity even after his retirement. We will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to Sid's family. I never flew with him, but trained under and with him. Such a great and fun guy! I know he will be greatly missed. May he rest in eternal peace.

Just heard the sad news of Sid's passing from Delta Clipped Wings. He was a bright memory from flying DC9's together years ago! He was all smiles when "Sweet Thing" Sharon was around, her long pony tail swinging. You could be on a layover, and he'd be looking at his watch saying, "Well, Sweet Thing should've just landed in Cincinnati about now..." It was enjoyable to see a husband and wife like they were with each other - inspiring! On layovers, he invited everybody over to his room to...
