John Sidle

John “Scott” Sidle, age 71, of Sidney passed away June 30th at Grandview Medical Center.  He was born May 27, 1950 to the late Carl and Maxine (Knasel) Sidle.  He is survived by long-time domestic partner Cindy Terwilliger, aunts and uncles, Patricia Higgins of Sidney, Glenna Hammond Padgett and husband Henry 'Sonny', of Lexington, SC, Darlene Hall & husband Donald, of Sidney, and many other cousins and friends.

Scott was a 1968 graduate of Sidney High School where he was a drummer in the All-Boy Marching Band.  “Scottie Dog” then continued drumming for several bands that included Big Z and The Continentals, Lincoln Street Cellar Gang, The Myth, The Outriders, Penny and the Loafers, but he loved the blues he played with The World Shakers. 

He was owner of Scott Sidle Bulldozing for 45 years.  He enjoyed shooting pool, drag racing, antiquing, as well as hunting mushrooms and Indian relics.  He loved watching birds around his farm as well as sitting before an evening bonfire.  In the fall, he followed the Browns, Lions, and Eagles alongside his canine companion Gizmo.  Scott will always be remembered for his sharp wit and keen sense of humor.
