I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet but Sid Beck lost his battle with cancer on Friday, August 27th. The Victoria, TX paper has his obituary up on their website:
SIDNEY EMIL BECK Obituary: View SIDNEY BECK's Obituary by Victoria Advocate

The MV world was fortunate to have Sid - he was always extremely helpful to me in my search for parts for Ol' Blue. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

:shock::shock:I am very shocked! I did not even know he was sick! Oh man this upsets me! He will be greatly missed by me and many others in and out of the hobby.. Truly one of the last of a very special breed... He would send me parts and I pay him later! Now who does that these days?? :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Sid had been battling cancer since I first delt with him in 1998, he definitely was a fighter and a super guy that will be missed
