Aged 86 years

18 August 2026

Passed away peacefully in his sleep. A much-loved Dad to Gary and Simone, David and Lisa, Grant and Janine, and Julie and Shane, and an adored Pop to all his grandchildren. Our biggest supporter, our constant cheerleader, and always in our corner - Sid was one of a kind. Now reunited with the love of his life, Nels, Sid has set sail on his final journey. Fair winds and calm seas, Dad.

Forever loved, forever missed, and always in our hearts.

A private family memorial will be held to celebrate Sid's life.
