Yes this is very sad news, I've only known him since early 2012 when I started to play for FSPA and he started to work on my machines that summer that have't been played on for 15-20 years.  He got 4 of 5 working great and they are still being played on today.  Yes he was always checking with me about my machines before any tournament, league party or personal function and was always there to check things out.  Whenever I got a new machine he was always here to check it out and fix any issues.  It was always nice having him over as he got to know part of my family as he worked on my machines.
He will be missed by all, RIP Scott Sidley.

I am heartbroken to say that Scott Sidley has passed away.  As most of you know, he's been battling cancer for a couple years.  Things were improving for awhile, until they weren't.

For me, Scott isn't just a guy at pinball... we've been friends for almost 35 years.  He was incredibly intelligent, creative, and generous with his time and talents.  I have so many great memories with him... creating projects, playing games, roller coaster madness, so much more.  Despite his gruff exterior sometimes, he could be very caring and supportive.

For our pinball community, Scott has been involved with the FSPA more than anyone since its beginning.  He has done everything from helping run several of our leagues, managing scorekeeping, fixing machines everywhere, and on and on.  He could always be counted on to help tune up games for parties and tournaments, and on the day of an event, he would often be the first person there, helping to set things up, and the last one to leave, cleaning everything.  And I don't think anyone will know how to put quarters into the games correctly without Scott around.

I love Scott dearly, and already miss him very, very much.

Please, y'all stay safe and healthy.

--Joe
