Sid was a wonderful man who helped me land my first job in advertising 25 years ago. He and Bobbe met my folks in Hawaii in the '60s and formed a wonderful bond ever since. He had just a terrific sense of humor, and was quite kind and caring. I consider myself fortunate to have known Sid. This tremendous UCLA Bruin fan possessed a spirit you don't often see in others...a spirit that will be missed by many. My heart goes out to Bobbe and the rest of his family. May he live forever in our hearts...
