I didn't know he passed away, I knew him many years ago. He sent me this photo so long ago...I found it in a box that was stored away. He was a pretty cool guy. My condolences to his family. Rest in Peace, Sid!

So sorry to hear of Sids passing, have many memories of partying with Sid and drinking his moms homemade wine. I also hitchhiked across the country to Florida with Sid in 1969 and could tell stories for hours about what we encountered and created along the way. Rest In Peace my friend.
