Sid was a footballer one of the HARD men , a fierce but fair defender I played on teams with Sid and he never backed away from a tackle , impressive player. But he was a community person , with a surname that will go on infinitum , You could confide in him , he would give sound advice and in his way he was an equal to Monty , and Charles.
I used to travel with Sid to and from our dialysis sessions. I haven't been doing that for a while so I had no idea that Sid had passed. My heart goes out to Mary and the family. A lovely gentleman who was much loved. So sorry, Colette.
Easington lane has lost a much loved & respected member of our community, today we gathered to say goodbye to our minister, our neighbour,our friend. Condolences to Mary, Richard, Andrew,Philip & families. Rest in peace Syd

Sad news for all of Easington Lane and surrounding villages. Always listened to us and did your utmost to fulfill our wishes. I will always be eternally grateful for the love and attention you gave my sister on your visits in hospital to speak with her. I remember you clasping my hands in yours when my husband passed and for the calmness you brought. My thoughts are with all your lovely family. God surely has gained a wonderful Angel. R.I.P x

So sorry for your loss of such a lovely gentle man. I will always be grateful for the support he gave me when I lost my mam dad and sister Sandra I could not have done without his support. I consider myself so very lucky to have known him.
Thinking of you all
