Sidney J. Kornberg, born January 20, 1936 to Jacob and Bella Kornberg, died on Thursday December 26, 2019 of Pittsburgh, formerly of Athens, Greece. Married in Philadelphia, PA and in Athens, Greece, 1962 to Anna (Floutsakou) Kornberg. Loving father of Ioulia (Nee' Jill)) Kornberg. Preceded by is four siblings Esther, Albert, Flo and Bernard. Sid was a force of nature, smart as a whip, funny as hell, proud of his Jewish ethnicity, yet agnostic, a great ballroom dancer, so very very in love with Anna. Sidney was a language aficionado. He translated books and plays from Greek to English, tutored non Greeks to speak Greek and was a very good tour guide. Anna's and Sidney's song was Efiges. A Memorial will be held at the daughter's residence 2689 Amman Street Pittsburgh, PA 15226 on Saturday, January 4, 2020 from 1-4 p.m.. Send condolences to

I just remembered my first real memory of Sid and that was him offering to teach me chess with his great big smile, I wish I had taken him up on his offer. Love you Sid

So sad about this news! Sid was such a funny, energetic and kind person. He made our first year in Greece extra special. We always looked forward to seeing him on Thursdays for Denise's Greek lessons. He was never short of great conversation and laughs. Plus, Sid never missed an opportunity to talk about his lovely wife Anna and daughter Ioulia.
Heaven is extra special now with Sid being there. God bless you, Anna and Ioulia, and give you peace during this difficult time.
Best,
Harry and Denise Pikramenos

Anna and Ioulia, we send our deepest sympathy. Our memories of Sid are many, including our time as neighbors in Pittsburgh, the hospitality extended in Greece, and of course the breakfast we shared with you all in New Jersey. Our memories are happy and our prayers and sympathy are for you and all of us who feel the loss of Sid.
Love, Nancy and Sonny Hicks
