A story from Linda Bernard:

Sid was a real Mensch. I miss him so much already! I loved running into him in the hallways at Hoover and chatting a bit. Our ongoing joke was that I always asked him: "Sid, did you just get back from Washington, and which medal did you get this time?" He would chuckle, but more often than not, he HAD just received another prestigious award! Most of all, he was a magnificent human being.
