To the Sidona family: I just truly loved Slick. He was such a warm and comfortable guy to be with–I have missed his personality and his presence in our little town. He and Sammy were remarkable people. He was truly a “landmark” in Bellaire–everyone knew him and he knew everyone!!
I hope you will all find comfort knowing that Slick was admired and loved by so many people whose lives he touched. Bellaire can never be the same without him. God has a special couple with him and Babe in Heaven.
Sincerely,

Toni, I had known your parenets for many years. Your Mom and I attended a Bible study group, took Italian lessons at the Sons of Italy, etc. Your Father was such a card. So funny, as was your Mom, never failing to brighten up any room they were in. I am saddened by their absence. God Bless. Kathleen
