I've known Sid for 44 years. It's hard to put into words my feelings about his passing. He was not only my friend but a mentor as well. His knowledge of the coin business was unsurpassed and he never hesitated to share that knowledge with both his customers and competitors. Sid was instrumental in helping me start my first business when I was just 22 years old; a coin shop in Vista, California. Since that time, Sid supported me in a business venture that took us to Panama, Germany and China. He was my best man at my wedding. His friendship, kindness, business savvy and love of family was inspirational to me. He touched the lives of many and he will be remembered. Even though we haven't kept in touch over the last few years I think about him every day. I will miss him dearly. Bob Weaver
