Sydney Finkelstein
 
Home City: Montreal, Quebec
Age: 45
Date of Crash: April 28, 1992


Syd was on his way to a photo shoot at about 8:00pm. He was killed by an on-coming Toyota pickup truck driven by a 62-year old man with a blood alcohol level over .08. The man, who lost control of his vehicle, jumped the median and hit my husband's car head-on. Syd was killed instantly and the drunk driver was unhurt. The drunk driver had two previous convictions.

 
 




 
The following tribute message was composed by Mona Finkelstein, wife of victim.

As a child he was called Shea, as an adult Sydney
He dreamed of living on a hill overlooking the ocean
He worked hard to provide for his family
He loved to take pictures and became a successful
photographer
He once saved a boy's life
Yearly family vacations were unforgettable
Missing him is endless
Memories-dreams-feelings of him being right next to us
His children are getting married and having children - succeeding in
Life, their father is not here
At 45, when life was at its peak, he was killed
Montreal April 28, 1992 - a place, a time, an end
