Michael Alan Sidel

peacefully on Friday, June 2, 2023, in Palm Beach,

Florida. Mickey was born on October 3, 1935, and was

the middle child of Reva and Robert Sidel. He was

predeceased by his brothers, Harold ("Kenny") and

Stephen, and survived by his wife of fifty-two years

Helene, daughters Karen and Jennifer, son James,

sons-in-law Steven and Joshua, and grandchildren

Jessica, Natalie, Sophie, Zachary and Samuel. Mickey

was raised in Lawrence, Long Island, NY. An avid golfer,

he was captain of the Lawrence High School golf team

for three years. At the age of 12, he and his father won

the Long Island Parent and Child golf championship.

Mickey attended the University of Virginia, where he

graduated with a bachelor of arts degree. He became a

member of the New York Stock Exchange in 1966 and

remained there until it became a public company.

Mickey was on the board of Fight for Sight, on which

he served as Secretary. He was a devoted son and

treasured his wife and daughters more than anything.

He loved his grandchildren, and their visits to his home

in Florida were the joy of his life. No words can

describe his love for his wife, and the devotion they

showed to each other never wavered.
