I recently learned of Sidney's passing and would like to provide my condolences to his family. Sidney was one of the best friends I had at MA. I saw him twenty years after we graduated and our friendship was just as strong as it was in 71. Sidney, I know you're in heaven and working as an angel continuing to spread the good spirit you were blessed with by God.

I just saw this two years later. I’m so sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of all the Norwoods. Their house was like a second home to me when I was little. My funnest memory of Sidney is him chasing me around the table trying to kiss me when he was about 10 years old. Such fun, innocent times. I send my love to the whole family & all his friends.

Jonell, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know till today that you had lost Sydney. I remembered playing ball with him when we were young. Talked to him every time we saw each other. He was a very good man. May God hold him tight till we see him again.
