Share Your Thoughts: Brookline's Stanley Sydney Dies
Community benefactor and Brookline resident, Stanley Sydney, died Jan. 22.
Stanley Sydney, 80, a Brookline resident and active member of the community, died on Jan. 22. Yesterday would have been his 81st birthday.
1443 Beacon Street, a building managed by Sydney Associates, was one of those that opened its doors to people displaced by the fire at 1471 Beacon St. on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
In addition, The Sydneys were big supporters of MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research. He was also an early benefactor of the Maimonides school's atheltics program, and a sponsor of Congregation Young Israel.
Services were held last Monday (Jan. 23) at Levine Chapel, and he was interred in Rhode Island. The family has asked that instead of flowers, donations be sent to:
- McGovern Institute of Brain Research at MIT
77 Mass Ave., MS 43-3160, Cambridge, MA 02139, - Maimonides School
34 Philbrick Rd., Brookline, MA 02445, or - Congregation Young Israel of Brookline
62 Green St., Brookline, MA 02446.
A guest book appeared on Legacy.com with comments from friends and family.
