He lived in Peter Cooper Village for 60 years. Once widowed, Sid survived his partner, Edith Selig. Sid was an adoring husband and father. He loved his daughter- in-law, Ellie, and was a doting grandfather to Abby (Grant) and Dani (Chester). He cherished his nieces Judy, Elissa, Margie, Ellen, and Janet, and his nephew Tadd.
