Sid then moved back to Wichita, working as a Journalist for the Wichita Eagle and Beacon and the Oil and Gas Journal in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Sid spent a significant portion of his life working as a counselor dedicated to helping those who struggled with substance abuse and working with various Alcoholics Anonymous groups. In his later years, he was a caregiver for his young grandkids. He was a loving father, father-in-law, and grandfather, always prepared with a quick joke or a great story. In his spare time Sid enjoyed writing (he kept an old typewriter at his desk) and photography.
