Writing about Sidney’s Life

What people are saying.

  • "To say I learned a lot from Sidney Morris would be a gross understatement. Without intending to he taught me how to teach. His natural curiosity and constant dreaming kept us all on our toes at The Farm Institute. The wanderer, the dreamer, the inspirer. The creator and solver of many dilemmas and crises of farm summer camp." 

    — Chrissy Kinsman

  • “I mostly saw Sidney over the years as I was working retail. He was so much more than one of my favorite customers. We shared about life and connected sometimes without words. Whatever he said was heartfelt. A lovely, gentle and kind spirit he was, a beautiful soul. I’ll also remember his unique twinkle toes dancing on Tuesdays at the West Tisbury Library. I’m so grateful for our shared experiences.”

    — Mark Ripa

  • “Sidney is one of the people that inspired me the most to follow a life path in education, a mentor, an open heart and mind. He surely has inspired a full legacy of education change-makers!”

    — David Caballero Pradas

  • "May his memory be a blessing. He was a light in the world. His smile was a comfort as well and sign of his eternal optimism."
