It was sad to hear of Sid‘s passing. Sid was likeable and hard-working, but also a very humble and sincere person. He was a very good friend to my late father and my mother (Merv and Shane Hancock). My condolences to Diane and family. RIP Sid you deserve it.

With sincere condolences to Dianne & family on the passing of Syd. Very fond memories are held of Syd from the years we spent on the 'Racing for All' case as a result of the 'blackballing' by SRC. He was a genuine, down to earth man who was fiercely loyal & passionate to what he believed in. Always willing to battle for what was right & help ensure that justice prevailed. His efforts & friendship will not be forgotten. Rest peacefully now Syd, you've earned it.
