Born in Dallas, Sidney was one of four children; he and his family lived in several Texas cities. He was a talented athlete who received a tennis scholarship to the University of New Mexico. After serving in the military during World War II, he graduated from the University of Tennessee, School of Optometry. Dr. Lane began his practice in downtown Fort Worth, relocating to Hulen Mall in later years. After retiring in 1985, his passion was playing tennis several times a week and he enjoyed swimming.
