Sounds like you two made the most of the time you had. Most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. You and John are in the thoughts of many.

I have no words that can soothe your pain. Words are meaningless some times. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Sid.

There were some wonderful things happening that summer of 1993, and I remember the day that John was born and how Cook had to pry you out of NY to come with him and Duke to Lexington not once but three or four times that summer and early fall.

What days of promise and excitement they were!

We will remember, my friend, the difference in every new day as both of us were freshly minted fathers. And those treasures you gathered up over these 17 years, the crack of the ball well hit, the laughter and high spirits, will not go away. They will stay with you forever.

Deepest condolences to Sid and all of Johnny’s family and friends who will miss him. But especially for his younger brother Joe. I have never met Sid or his family but I am touched and saddened by what happened.

Sid…I worked with your Mom in Lutherville & remember when you & your wife would bring Johnny to visit her at school. He was just a little guy then, such a precious child. When I heard of his passing my mind immediately recalled that adorable little boy in Chandra’s arms so many years ago. Please know that your family is in my thoughts.

To Coach Sid and family

Our son Collin played baseball (summer league and spring league) with you as his coach and John as his teammate. I was struck back then at what a nice family you were, and how respectful and dedicated John was, both as a member of the team and toward you as both his coach and dad, and to his mom and younger brother. You have much to be proud of. We are so deeply sorry for your heartbreak, and imagine a piece of your heart is with John, but we pray that empty space becomes filled with the comfort and peace of knowing what a good job you did raising John.

The cruelest hurt of all — to outlive a child. I’m sorry to hear that you have had to suffer it. As Frank and others point out, you have a host of rich memories to assuage it and love to help you bear it.

John: Almost ten months ago I wish I could have traded placed with you so that your young life would not have come to an end. My feelings for you are so very strong and everlasting. Sid, there is not a practice or game that happens without a fond remembrance of what John meant to all of us. John, you are penciled in my lineup card in the lead-off spot forever. Rest well my young man.

On this date we celebrate the life of a very exceptional young man. The day began as a “Day of Mourning” to mark the one year anniversary of John Fernando’s death. The day ended as the entire Beacon Baseball Team and it’s Coaches remembered his special qualities with numerous words and thoughts from all. We finished this day with a restaurant celebration of his life, his accomplishments and what he meant to all of us. John is truly embedded in our hearts forever. His uniform number 28 has been framed and ready to hang outside of his coaches room in school. John, I love you as if you were my son. My prayers for you will help assure that you are never left alone or forgotten. Rest in peace my precious young man.
