SHUMAN, Sydney Of Revere, formerly of Canton, entered into rest on August 25, 2021 at the age of 94. Beloved husband of Ina Edythe (Wolfson) Shuman. Devoted father of Andrea Zidel and Stuart Freedman, and Jay and Lynda Shuman. Loving brother of the late Frank and Gerald Shuman. Cherished grandfather ("Baba") of Erica Zidel and Ted Tieken, Evan Zidel, Jaclyn Firestone and her husband Evan, and Matthew Shuman; and great-grandfather of Gavin Tieken-Zidel, Isabella Tieken-Zidel, and Ethan Firestone. Sydney was a proud WWII US Navy Veteran. He was a storyteller and jokester, still a quiet man, who was immensely loyal to his family. To know Baba was to love Baba.

My deepest sympathy. So many fond memories going back 65years plus, Revere to Canton to back to Revere.
Remember Andrea and Jay in the carriage, me with Suanne and Keith walking Shirley Avenue. ,Sydney coming home with sportswear he purchased for the ladies. I could go on and on. Love to you all.

This message is to my cousins, Andrea and Jay. I'm sure you don't remember me but I had the honor of wheeling down Jay's Barmitzva Cake when I was seven years old. Your father was always so nice to me and I wish we all could have kept in touch. Most Sincerely, Lesly Wolfson.
