He was a friend to everyone and everyone was his friend. One knew immediately it was him when he spoke. He remembered my golden oldy, (Presprodo) any time we met. And he knew what the Sag Harbor community was all about at any level with conveyed respect for everyone.

I remember listening that February night in 1978 when Paul was broadcasting during a nasty blizzard. The water in the cove came up forcing them to evacuate the station and being rescued by Sag Harbor Fire Dept in a 4-wheel drive. Made for good listening. A real Sag Harbor character!

Paul, you had a way of making everyone feel especially important. It didn’t matter how long I was away from the village, you remembered me as if we had chatted yesterday. You watched lots of us grow up. Thanks for being you!

Paul Sidney loved WLNG and life in Sag Harbor. He had the best oldies show on Radio, and did the best job for his listeners and advertisers for many years. He also had a lot of friends with whom he met regularly at the Sag Harbor Deli for the morning “breakfast Club”. My late husband, Fred, was among them. Rest in peace, Paul, you are one man who cannot be replaced in Sag Harbor.

One of the most pleasurable remembrances of my younger days was going to the WLNG van when Paul Sidney was broadcasting live from location. What a fun experience for me; what a very good man for all of us. Rest In Peace, Mr. Sidney.
