"On January 12, 2014, Sidney Casden died peacefully at home in Ormond Beach, Florida, surrounded by his loved ones. He was 92 years old.
First Lieutenant Sidney Casden served in the United States Air Corps during the Second World War. Like so many men of his generation Sidney enlisted on December 8, 1941. In 1943, while flying a bombing mission, his B-17 was shot down over Nazi occupied France. Sidney parachuted to safety and lived with the French resistance for nine months until he was able to slip across the English Channel under cover of night and eventually returned to the United States in 1944. Sidney was awarded the Purple Heart for his services during the war. After the war, Sidney settled in Woodmere, New York, where he raised his two daughters, Terri and Suzy. During this time he was the managing partner of a successful garment manufacturing firm, R.C.S. Inc., located in New York's garment district. In the early 1970's, he and his wife Catherine H. Casden retired to Florida. They have made their home in Ormond Beach for the past 41 years."
