Sidney was an active member of Christ Baptist Church and served as a deacon for 
many years. He loved traveling to hear Southern Gospel singing the first Friday 
of every month. He was also a Chaplin and longtime member of the local chapter 
of the Gideons International and enjoyed distributing bibles. 
He loved to grow a garden every summer and he had a passion for making fig 
preserves every year with Beverly. 

The family would like to give special thanks to the wonderful and compassionate 
staff of the AMG Specialty Hospital and the skilled nursing on fifth floor
