Upon his discharge from the US Navy, Sid returned to Winner, SD. On January 18, 1964, he and Sharon Farner were united in marriage. They moved to Pierre, SD and later to Edgemont, SD, where he was employed as a Railroad Engineer with the Burlington Northern Railroad until he retired due to illness. They returned to Winner, SD, where they have resided for the last 35 years. Sid and Sharon were blessed when Travis entered their lives. Sid enjoyed his time sharing knowledge with Travis and seeing Travis develop his own desire to learn and share that knowledge with others. Sid was always a great “teacher”.
