Sid was born in Williamsville, NY on June 10, 1942, a son of the late Sidney E. Lovell, Sr. and Marianne (Schickler) Lovell. He was the eldest of seven children. Sid graduated from Williamsville High School in 1960. He then served in the US Army Reserves with the 85th Engineering Battalion out of Webster, NY and was honorably discharged in 1969. Sid married the former Donna J. Munson on February 14, 1979. Sid held various managerial positions with General Electric, Bo-Mer Plastics and Fisher-Price Toys.

His softball career culminated in his induction into the NYS USSSA Hall of Fame in March 2010.
