Uncle Sid was a tremendously nice man who made the world a better place around him. He married my Aunt (Helen Pauline Danner), and they had a long, happy life together. When I moved to Tucson, AZ to go to college, I had only met Aunt Pauline and Uncle Sid and their family a few times while on family vacations. I was a long way from home, and on my own for the first time in my life. They made me feel very welcome, and a part of their family.

I've heard their son Bruce say that people who adopt children and give them a loving home are special people. That is very true. Uncle Sid and Aunt Pauline adopted their two children, Bruce and Debbie, and gave them each a loving family.

I will always remember Uncle Sid's kindness and love. God Bless!!
