I was very fortunate to have known and worked for Sidney Verba as his administrative assistant for fourteen years. When I think of him, I think of a man who cared deeply about his family and friends, his research, colleagues, students, and causes. He loved life and was a keen observer of people. With his great diplomatic skills and his funny and witty anecdotes, he could diffuse tensions and restore order. He was a “unifier.” He and his wife Cynthia were gracious hosts, and I always enjoyed hearing about the latest adventures of their three daughters. He will be missed by all.
