Remembering Sydney Sime

Sydney Sime, a former resident of Frobisher Bay, has died after a brief illness.

Syd is survived by his wife, June, and daughters Fiona and Sharon. Both girls were born at the Baffin hospital in 1969 and 1970. He also leaves two grandchildren.

Syd was born in Scotland, where he studied electrical engineering. He was employed by the Northern Canada Power Corp. in Frobisher Bay and Yellowknife. In later years he served as a consultant to the power corporation.

Before emigrating to Canada, Syd served with the Royal Scottish Regiment in Palestine. Syd was a full member of the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. He was well-read, educated, informed and very funny.

A memorial service celebrating his life was held in Edmonton this past Wednesday.
