With great sorrow and profound loss, we announce the passing of Sidney Eder Morrison on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. Son of Ruth and Gustave Morrison, he was born on July 9, 1934, in Chicago, Illinois. He attended Senn High School and graduated from Northwestern University and Northwestern University School of Law with Honors. He practiced law for more than 60 years, and, for most of his professional life, was the managing partner of the firms where he practiced. He was widely recognized among his colleagues as an expert in construction law, and in the areas of credit and finance. Sidney adhered to the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and valued these same qualities in others. His extraordinary legal mind, deep empathy and good judgement, matched with his keen sense of humor and affability turned clients into life-long friends. His relationships with his office colleagues went well beyond a job – he was friend and mentor, and could always be relied upon for guidance and support.
