I worked with Sigi at Gibbons & Reed. What a great guy! I had the opportunity to be at his home and meet his wife. He was a generous person giving me fresh vegetables from his garden and home made food. Sigi always had a burrito or tamale for me when we worked together. I never took the chance to go fishing with him but we sure talked about it a lot. I was sorry to hear that he passed. Knowing Sigi enriched my life and I am grateful we crossed paths.
