My condolences to the Besthoff family. I met my husband, John, when we both worked at the K&B office and we had the pleasure of working with Sydney and his daughters for 20 years. My daughter and my sister also worked there. It seemed the whole company was one big family! Rest in peace SJB III.

Sydney Besthoff was the best manager/executive I had the pleasure of knowing. I had worked for KB Drugs. I know he will be greatly missed.
