Sidney APPLEBAUM

Sid was a great guy and one that I admired a lot. I designed his stores for many years and his liquor store as well.I always enjoyed being with him. I miss him very much

Sid was a great guy and he and I worked together for years as I designed his stores. we had our differences but still were good friends and business partners- so to speak. I admired him a great deal.

Loved caddying for him and the Applebaum family at Hillcrest. My grandma recalled working at the first grocery store and remembering his kindness towards employeess

May God give you the power beyond what is normal to help you enduring. Sincere sympathies - 2Cor 4:7

Shalom Lekha Sid.
You made a difference and helped our community shine brighter by your example. You are deeply missed and we will all remember by your life lessons what it means to do more for others.

It is truly a jolt for me to hear about the passing of Sid who I actually hadn't seen since the 70's. He was such an important part of my life in my twenties. I (along with Judy Lovold) was secretary to Sid, Sam, Hy, Hash, Abe, Meyer and Steve both on Vandalia and then on Plato. Sid put up with my taking off on adventures & then hiring me back again. I loved being around all of the family and was honored to have Sid & his wife at my wedding in 1972 when I married the "guy" in their advertising dept.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss & know I have been very honored to be a part of Sid's life. CHRIS GRANT

I first met Sid in the early 1970's at his store on Jefferson Ave. in St. Paul. Later when I was working in the Midway shopping center he remembered me and let me buy banana boxes of unlabeled canned goods for $2.00 because he remembered me. He knew I was struggling financially to feed my family. He didn't charge me because he needed the money, rather it was to let me keep my pride.
He was a generous person, sweet and kind. I'l always remember that about him.

I caddied for Sid and his wife almost 50 years ago. After the round he and his wife came to the caddie master and advocated for me to promoted to A caddie status. I was stunned that a successful business man like him would take the time and effort to help a poor East Side kid. Thank you for your kindness and God bless you.

Very sorry for your loss. My father had a produce farm & used to sell produce to your Applebaum stores. Please accept my condolences.

Applebaum Family,
I have known Sid for so many years and have seen him in the stores so many tines over that span. I got my first job at Applebaums on Western off of Hwy 94 and have gotten to know so many customers over the years. I started out in 1973 and I am still in the grocery business thanks to all that I have learned. Sid sure was a great person and I am so sure he will be miss by many people who lives he has touched.
I pray that the memories you all have will keep you strong.
The love of God grant you peace.
And the love of friends bring you comfort.
Today and Forever.
With deepest sympathy on your loss of dear Sid.

dear Lorraine and kids, I worked with Sid for many years designing stores and the liquor stores. He was always a great guy . we did have some set to's at times but it was all in fun.I had so much respect for him and I think he did me also. He was a very great man.

I've only had the chance to meet Sid a handful of times, but he always seemed to brighten everyone's day when he came cruising around! So here's a candle for ya Sid! Rest easy..
