Dr Dave and Dr. Allen, I am grateful for the opportunity I had to spend time with your Dad discussing, baseball, medicine and his life experiences. Also when I was new to dermatology, he would patiently take time to answer every question. These and other memories of your Dad will not be forgotten. My deepest condolences to you and your respective families.
Sincerely,

Dear Marian;

I never met your husband, but people discribe him as a warm and loving person. What a wonderful profession for him to have decided upon where gentle, caring doctors are, sadly, hard to find. Surely everyone with which he had dealings, especially patients, benefited from his godly attitude. Please look forward to the fulfillment of Jehovah's promise of a resurrection where Sid can be reunited with all of his loved ones.

Dear David, Alan, Ad and Leeann, Sam and I learned of Sid's death when Sam's son called this morning. We are so sorry to hear of this event. We both thought Sid would just keep on going forever!! We will always cherish the time we had as his next door neighbor and dear friend. Please give your mom a big hug for us. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Trudi and Sam

David,Alan and Ad, I just found out today about your dad. What a proud dad he must have been for the way his boys grew up. You'll are certainly a tribute to him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to work for awhile with Dr. Syd. He will be truly missed. My condolences to Dr. Alan, Dr. Dave, and the rest of the Olansky family. My thoughts are with you.

Alan and David, I smile when I remember Dr. Sid. His quiet manner, his bowtie, his coffee cup! He was truly an easy person to love. What a long history and legacy he leaves behind. My thoughts will be with all your family during this difficult time.

Dr. Olansky will be greatly missed. I knew Dr. Sid when I was very young. I used to go over to the Olansky home to visit Alan when we were kids, and I remember Dr. Sid's tremendous sense of humor. All the Olansky's are special people, but Dr. Sid kept everyone's feet on the ground.
