Jaryd , you were
born 12 years after Sid's death.
The last "500" broadcast delivered by Sid Collins was May of 1976 at the age of 53.
Hardly an " old man " as you describe.
Sid died prior to the '77 event on May 2nd , 1977 at the age of 54.
Sid was known for signing off with a serious thought or poetry , including this one -
" If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined , he will meet with a success unexpected "
