Sidney Junior Matlick was born July 11, 1949, in Rock Island, to Sidney Glen and Lucille (Lingenfelter) Matlick. He met Luann Clary on a blind date in 1998 and the couple was married on September 4, 2008, in Rock Island. He worked for the East Moline Correctional Center as a stationary engineer. Following retirement he ran his own lawn care business and worked for Moline Welding.

He enjoyed fast-pitch softball, karaoke, and playing Belgian Vogelpiks (Piks). He was a die-hard New York Yankees fan, a grill-master (known for his ribs), and played in a band in his younger years. He will be remembered for his “Sid-ism’s”. Above all else, Sidney loved spending time with his family.
