As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

While working with his son Timmy I got to know Sid over the years and found him to be a colorfull man and always enjoyed working with him on some of Tim's jobs in the field. He used to put on the green wirenuts faster than the other guys and we always had a lot of laughs while we worked with him. I also miss seeing him at the Breaux Mart in River Ridge also.

Best of luck and prayers to the family
