I had the pleasure of working with Sid for over 3 years. We did not work in the same group, however, we worked directly alongside each other. Sid's technical knowledge of the control systems at ETF was outstanding. He could always be relied on to support the operations team in keeping the plant running smoothly. Sid made himself available to assist anybody who wanted to learn more about the control systems and how they function. He was an extremely valuable member of the team.
