Sid was my father's former boss and was instrumental in his career at UTC. Dad always spoke very highly of him. He told me Sid gathered a team of some of Pratt and Whitney's best to successfully improve Otis Elevator's (Farmington, CT) performance worldwide.

My parents have been friends with Sid and Phyllis since starting out married life in Burnside Apartments.

It is my privilege to also work to help foster positive relations with Pakistan, as Sid did.

Thank you for so much.

Dear Phyllis and family,

We where extremely sad to hear about Siddiq. I have such fond memories of you all from Brian Dr. I'll always remember his kindness and goodness as a neighbor. He never complained about Mocha and what a pest she was to your cat or how she trepassed on your lawn so freguently. I'll always remember when he went off on his business trips and the limo would pull up into your driveway and wait for him to come out. I was so envious! I could go on with many more memories. But I want you to know I always thought of him as a very special, gentle man. I was fortunatae to know him.

With our condolences,

Mary Lou and Norm
