• Seymour A. Sikov, a well-respected local attorney, born on November 2, 1924 in Pittsburgh, passed away at home after a brief illness on January 16, 2013. He was survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Rhoda, his three children - Carol, William (Susan) and Paul (Ellen), six grandchildren – Evan, Rayna, Mark, Jennifer, Zachary and Tyler, his nephew Barry (Elaine), his loyal office staff – Helen, Linda and Susan, and many close and dear friends.

  Sy, as he was known, grew up in Pittsburgh, the son of the late Meyer and Rose Sikov and brother of the late Leonard Sikov. He graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School at 16 and went on to the University of Pittsburgh. He was a member of the ROTC, which led to his service in the United States Army in World War II, where he served as an Infantry Officer with the First Battalion, 417th Infantry Regiment, 76th Infantry Division as part of the Third Army in Europe. He also performed legal work in the Judge Advocate Corp though he was not a lawyer at that time. Sy even attended the Nuremberg War trials in Germany, of which he often spoke to family and friends as the first time they used translators for the various languages on headphones for those in attendance to use to follow the proceedings.

  Sy came back to Pittsburgh and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1947 with a BA with honor and then went on to the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, graduating in 1950 with an LL.B, a Bachelor of Law degree. Sy was recalled to active duty as a reserve officer during the Korean War, initially serving with the anti-aircraft branch of service until being admitted to practice law on December 5, 1950, following which he was transferred to the Judge Advocate Corp and served until September 1, 1952.

  Sy started in practice with his late father in September, 1952 and then joined the offices of John Wirtzman in November, 1952, becoming a trial lawyer in the personal injury field of law. The firm then became and Wirtzman and Sikov, and later Wirtzman, Sikov and Love when the late Murray S. Love became a partner. Eventually, the firm became Sikov and Love, P.A., which continues today.

  Sy felt that the two (2) events that gave him the opportunity to give back to the legal profession all that the legal profession gave to him were

  In May, 1959, serving as a Charter Member of the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County with the then leaders of the personal injury trial bar, as well as serving as its president from 1973 -1974; and

  In January 1963, helping to hire James I. Smith, III, as Executive Director of the Allegheny County Bar Association, which lead to the growth and success of the ACBA.

  Sy was very involved in the ACBA. He helped to start its annual Bench Bar conference in 1962 to build better communication between judges and attorneys. He chaired the Bench Bar in 1967 and 1968, one of the few attorneys to chair the event twice. In 1968, the attendees starting saying “We Want Seymour”, which was heard thereafter at conference dinners.?One of Sy’s most notable cases, of which there were many, was the landmark case of Kaczkowski v. Bolubosz, which was decided by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in 1980 and related to a total change in determining damage awards for individuals who were either totally disabled or died because of an accident in which someone was negligent, which allowed plaintiffs to receive appropriate awards of damages for the serious nature of their injuries.

  Sy was involved in the creation of the Video Tape Subcommittee which led to the use of video tape depositions as evidence in the personal injury trials, which was the first time in any court in the United States. He was the Chair of the Special Masters Program with the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County from 1989 until its suspension in 1999, which program was instrumental in eliminating the large backlog of cases before the court.

  Sy was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and all of the Appellate Courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He won numerous awards and honors from the ACBA, the Academy of Trials Lawyers, and the University of Pittsburgh. Sy was the recipient of

  1992 - Distinguished Service Award from the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County1993 - Phillip Werner Amram Award from the Allegheny County Bar Association,1999 - Professionalism Award from the Civil Litigation Section of Allegheny County Bar Association and the First Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Guild of Court Videographers2000 – Distinguished Alumni of the Year from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law Alumni Association2010 - Certificate of Meritorious Service?for 60 Years of Practice

  Sy founded the Sikov Elder Clinic at the Pitt Law School. He helped to train many attorneys, at least 4 of whom went on to become judges, including Judge Alan Block of the US District Court for the Western District of PA, Judge Frank Lucchino and Judge Jim Flaherty of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County and Judge Christine Donahue of Superior Court of Pennsylvania. Sy was also very proud of the fact that each of his law clerks passed his or her bar examination on the first try.

  Sy was a past president of the Tree of Life Synagogue from 1978- 1980 and was always available to help its director, presidents and officers. At the Green Oaks Country Club, he was the treasurer and the parliamentarian for many years, working closely with the manager, Colleen. He was the chair of his Condo board for ten years, only stepping down recently.

  Sy tried his last case in December, 2012, less than 1 month prior to his passing away, because he loved his work and working with his daughter, Carol, his partner at the law firm. He was a professional to the end and will be missed by his office, his family and his friends.

Does a revised Power of attorney for healthcare supersede a previous one?

My dad has a different type of dementia so I know part of what you are dealing with. It is good that you are thinking about the future, when she will require more care. It is hard to know how to answer your question without knowing more about her situation, such as who else can help her, what her financial resources are, and how involved you want to be. It is definitely easier if the burden of caregiving is shared, and it may involve moving her to a facility if it is too difficult to care for her at home. The Area Agency on Aging in her county should be able to help with local resources. An elder law attorney can help get her papers in order, if she is still cognizant enough to choose someone to act on her behalf (durable powers of attorney for health and finances). The attorney can also advise you about planning ahead for Medicaid.. . Good luck and I hope she gets the best care possible.

what is the hot issue or topic in finance these days?

Yes, the Tampa Bay Area is the best area to visit in Florida! Don't go to Miami, it has been considered one of worst cities with Foreclosures, it's always steaming hot, dirty, and high crime rate, (compare like a once clean towel used for very long time and becomes dirty.)

Hey Ash,. . First off, you should plan on having 2-3 letters of recommendation from professors, and then an additional essay from another source. The employer is fine for this. However, when applying, schools will, generally, limit the number of letters you can submit. If they limit you to two, submit two letters from professors. If they allow you three, and you only have 2 from professors, then you can submit the one from your employer. Generally, though, the adcomms are looking for the type of insight professors can give into your abilities. Unless you've been out of school for the better part of a decade, I'd skip the employer letter (unless you know it's going to be fantastic).. . Don't worry about addressing the letters to the specific schools
