Good-bye Sid

"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."--- Kahlil Gibran

A bright light went out this weekend.

Sid Stead passed away after having a heart attack. He was in Halifax for a scheduled surgery - was said to be doing well, and was expected to be back home on Saturday...but had a heart attack Friday, and didn't recover.

I worked with Sid at Southport Pharmacy for years...he was a delight to all who knew him...always a smile, a hug and a joke every time he'd see you. He worked part-time at the Pharmacy not because he had to - because he wanted to. He loved his job; he loved his life. Everyone who knew him, loved him. He was an amazing human being, and hearts all over are breaking now for the loss we're left with. The only comfort in our loss is knowing that he is now reunited with the love of his love, Betty, who he lost at the beginning of this year.

My heart goes out to Sid's family - may they find peace.

Thank you Sid, for all the memories - you will never be forgotten.
