Dear Cathy, Laura, Dan & Liz,
So sorry for your - & all of our -loss. Sid was such a special person, husband, father & teacher. I was truly inspired by his postings. Very grateful that Cathy & Laura were with him as he passed over. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of Sid's passing. I was a graduate student of his and worked in his lab. He was such a kind and brilliant man. My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to know Dr. Bacon and be mentored by him. He changed my path back in 1998, and I will forever be grateful for this. While I have never had the opportunity to meet Sid's family, you are all in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing your dad/husband with so many people :-)

Cathy, Dan, Liz and family,
My heart is breaking at the news of Sid's death and yet I am reassured that Sid is safe and happy. Sid was a very special person and he touched so many lives throughout the years. I am so happy that he found the love of his life, married and raised two wonderful children. I feel so lucky to have known him in high school, but it was through his fight with cancer that I grew to know just how caring, giving and courageous he truly was. His spirit lives on in his family, his students, colleagues and his friends. May God strengthen your faith, heal your sorrow, and help you to live each day "in the moment" like Sid so often wrote about in his blog. No more pain will greet Sid and he will rest in the loving arms of his Savior. Goodbye, friend.

Cathy, Laura, and Dan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the hard days that will follow as you grieve the loss of your husband and father. Thank-you for sharing the experiences of your family's journey through cancer and the life lessons it brings. Sid has touched so many lives and encouraged us all to remember what is important in life.

My prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Sid was so strong during this battle and was so kind to share it with all that knew him. He was the leader and we were the followers! He gave us all the message to live each day to the fullest! He made us better people as we read his postings. Cathy, Laura and Dan, you gave continuously to make this battle easier and more meaningful and with so much love. My love to you all.
