"Open that bottle for Sid night" was, RIP Sid Deleon, age 66
>From the obit:
"A private service will be held at a later date for close friends and family
and per his wishes, ''a good bottle of wine will be required.'' "
I don't think I ever met Sid, but I know I would have liked him since he
required the above. I may not crack a bottle of vino tonight for him (gotta
do beer, it IS Super Bowl), but Thursady night I will. If anybody else wants
to do a "Open that bottle for Sid night," mark your calenders for February
9th (or February 11th if Saturday is better). Those that knew him could post
a thought about sharing a bottle with Sid or perhaps what you remembered
about Sid when you open that bottle.
Indeed, RIP Sid.
