To Sid's family: I know it's a relief for all of you that you will no longer see him in agony - and, you know Sid's heart, and that he is now at peace. Your mourning began with his diagnosis four years ago. God bless each of you for coming together to keep the businesses and family matters going through those difficult times. What a wonderful family you are! We will keep you in prayer as you greet your family and friends tomorrow, and lay your hero to rest.

So sorry Jordan. We will be praying for you and the family. Sid was such a gifted man. I used to enjoy bumping into him in the old days back in Va.

This is heartbreaking.

Sid and I had been friends since he made his first apprearance at the ISGC, who knows how many years ago.
I remember him burning it up with no finger picks.

We will not forget you Sid.

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

I met Sid at the Dallas show with Billy Knowles. He played extremely well with no finger picks. He was a very nice man and treated me like we had known each other for years. I would often call him and chat from time to time.
RIP Brother.....to his family, he was a good man who will be missed.
