Mr. Guidry proudly and honorably served his country in the United States Air Force, attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant and retired on September 30, 1964 – his 40th birthday. Upon his retirement he and his family returned to their hometown in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, thereafter he began his career with the United States Post Office, where he worked for over 20 years, until his retirement.

Sid was a huge sports fan, who along with his son, Joey, enjoyed following the basketball and baseball programs of the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now U.L. of Lafayette). He was a devoted fan of Duke University basketball and loved watching them on TV. An avid outdoorsman, Sid enjoyed fishing and hunting, especially deer hunting, in the Atchafalaya Basin and was a longtime member of the Omaha Hunting Club and a former member of the Pelba and Attakapas hunting clubs. One of Sid’s proudest moments in his life and his “Claim to Fame” was killing the infamous “Bodacious” a 9-point buck, while hunting on the Attakapas Hunting lease.
Sidney’s love for his family was unconditional. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather – a nurturing provider for his family and a great and faithful friend to many. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
