In Honor of Richard “Dick” Sidders
Dick Sidders was born and raised in Giltner, Nebraska, where his leadership and character were evident from a young age. He was elected Student Body President for three consecutive years during high school, a testament to the respect and admiration he earned from his peers.
During World War II, Dick proudly served his country as a tail gunner on B-29 aircraft, completing 27 combat missions. His courage and dedication earned him distinction as a highly decorated serviceman. He was stationed on Tinian Island in the Pacific, where he exemplified bravery, resilience, and unwavering commitment to his fellow airmen.
After the war, Dick returned home and joined his father and two brothers in founding a family auction business — a legacy that would shape the rest of his life. He remained devoted to the auction industry for decades, known for his integrity, professionalism, and tireless work ethic.
In 1963, Dick moved to California, where he continued to build upon his family’s legacy. For the past thirty years, he specialized in storage auctions, becoming a respected and beloved figure in the auction community. His presence, wisdom, and generosity touched countless lives.
Dick Sidders was more than a skilled auctioneer and veteran — he was a devoted father, a loyal friend, and a man of principle. He will be deeply missed by the entire auction community and by all who had the privilege of knowing him — especially those who lovingly called him “Dad.”
