We met on Thanksgiving night 1989. I was coming back from Tacoma from dinner with my family and decided to stop at the Park Bench for a night cap. I was sitting at the bar waiting to order and the bartender came over and said someone wants to buy you a drink, what'll have so I told him, and he served it up, well, not know what I was getting myself into I quickly finished my drink and walked out the door, as I was walking to my car someone shouted out, hey! where are you going? I turned around and saw this really good-looking guy looking at me and I said oh well where I'm going you probably wouldn't want to go, and he said where is that? I said I'm going home and going to bed, and he replied, "Don't be so sure about that!" and we have been together ever since.
The last few days of Sidney's life were challenging but he was able to tell me that he loved me and that I was his knight in shining armor.
To my love Sidney, after almost 36 years together we were each other's opposites, I was the practical and responsible one, and you were the one who gave of yourself and spread, fun, kindness, compassion and giving to anyone who needed something it didn't matter who or what. You'd give them your last dollar or hook them up with charity so they would have a place to sleep that night. Two people coming together as one and you were always my better half because "Everybody Loves Sidney". I find myself still saying we and our in my conversations. Sidney, you completed me, and I completed you. Now I find I must go on without you and it will be difficult but just know you will forever be in my heart. Love, your Bobby
