My strongest memory of Sydney is the time I arranged a meeting with a potential lender. We met at Sydney‘s office and then went to the construction site of the Meadowbrook care center in Freeport which was about 50% built. As Sydney walked the site he talked with the construction crews and construction manager. The respect for Sydney was obvious. He had everyone’s attention and commanded the moment, reviewing blueprints and firing off questions. He did not suffer fools and expected answers and the construction team responded in-kind. As a side bar the subcontractors were loyal to Sydney,Following him From project to project. Meanwhile lenders liked him because he delivered on time. 
Sydney walking the construction site was a kin to General Patton in the movie Patton with George C Scott Walking onto the battlefield and talking to his troops. Same respect. I have told this story several times in Sydney’s presence I knew he appreciated it by the nod of his head and the slightest of a smile. God bless you Sydney.You are already missed.

Mr. Engel was an amazing person who cared about others as well as a great business leader.  He is an inspiration to all of us!

The best brother-in-law ever.
Rest In Peace Sidney.


 My sincere condolences to the family.
