Connie Sidamon-Eristoff, who served on TSTC’s board for many years, passed away peacefully yesterday in New York City. Mr. Sidamon-Eristoff was a highly regarded public servant, attorney and philanthropist. The board and staff will miss his wisdom, humor, and energy.

After serving in Korea and graduating from Columbia Law School, Mr. Sidamon-Eristoff worked as an attorney and served in municipal, state, and federal government for over fifty years. He was the Region 2 Administrator at the United States Environmental Protection Agency and served on the MTA Board for fifteen years. He was also the chairman of Audubon New York and a board member of the National Audubon Society.

Mr. Sidamon-Eristoff’s funeral will be private, but there will be a public remembrance in February. Donations to Audubon New York or to American Friends of Georgia are requested in place of flowers.
