In 1966 Sy came to Adrian College and hired me as his first agent in his scratch agency in Southfield, Michigan. As its been 54 years I still remember Sy as a wonderful and kind gentleman and I am proud to have known him.

Suzanne and I (Myles Connell) along with Cindy and David Ward first met Debby and Sy at a UAHC convention in San Francisco.

Debby we never met but I am a close friend of Bonnie Angus. She introduced me to Sy because I had cancer and Sy and I sat with each other for 8 weeks while we went through radiation. He was my buddy. We talked a lot about what we were going through and really had a connection in that way. I really appreciate our friendship and thought he was a wonderful person. Bonnie called to say he had passed. I am so sorry and will never forget the encouragement we gave each other. I will miss him and...
