Sydney Herschel Rodin passed away on Thursday, August 30, 2018 while in the loving presence of his wife and three of his children.

Born on October 23, 1926 in Sioux City, Iowa, he was a World War II veteran serving four years in the U.S. Merchant Marines from 1944 as a purser responsible for clerical work, payroll and supplies, as well as performing basic medical procedures onboard ship.

Sydney was a private pilot and a ham radio operator. During the Falls, PA flood in the 1970’s he facilitated communications using the radio while the phone lines were down.

In 1960, he met his lovely wife, Geri, at a business party. They created their own business, beginning with just two-and-a-half employees, including themselves. They grew their enterprise to 150 people working 24/7 to create and market New Year's Eve party favors. By going above and beyond the call of duty, Rodin Industries maintained an impeccable reputation for service and quality in the promotional products industry, earning many awards.

Syd and Geri eventually moved to Scottsdale, AZ and maintained a small portion of their original business working from home. They loved to travel and they hiked many miles together. Syd was an honest and courageous man, and had a warm sense of humor, even to the end.

Sydney was the son of the late Idell and David Rodin. He was the husband of Geraldine, and father of their three children: Michael Rodin (Renee), Nannette DiMascio (Ron), and David Rodin II (Elke); father of his three children: Irvin Rodin, Jennifer Seigner (Thomas), and the late Laurie Jane Rodin, from his previous wife Arlene Shwartz-Hockenberg; grandfather of Keyhaan Rodin, Aimee Rodin, David Rodin III and Andrew Seigner; and brother of Helen Novak and Ducky Milder.

Flowers may be sent to The Chapel at Cedar Crest or donations made to Cedar Crest Resident Care Fund, 1 Cedar Crest Drive, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444.
