A look at Black Sabbath's photo shoots and live concerts would easily lead one to believe that the band consists of only four members. But make no mistake, they do in fact have a 5th member: their behind-the-stage keyboard player Geoff Nicholls. Before joining Black Sabbath in 1979, Nicholls played for Quartz, a band whose 1977 album was produced by Tony Iommi. Nicholls has played on every Black Sabbath album since 1980's "Heaven And Hell". He has made very significant writing contributions to Black Sabbath, most predominantly on the album "Seventh Star". He is the only member other than Tony Iommi to have played with every other past and present member of Black Sabbath, playing keyboards with every single reunion or other line-up change over the years. Whether he's credited on the albums as an equal member or an "additional musician", this invisible 5th member of Black Sabbath has seen it all. His interviews are constantly quoted throughout Gary Sharpe-Young's "Never Say Die!", an incredibly revealing book about Black Sabbath's turbulent 1979-1997 history.- Actor

They had 4 children: Caleb, Sybil, Clifton, and Maurice. Sybil, a graduate of La Boca High School, was a gifted singer and pianist. She shared her talent and love for music by playing for her church during worship and providing piano lessons to children, some of which have gone on to become accomplished musicians and artists. Sybil's first employment was with the De Castro and Robles Law Firm, where she worked diligently and loyally for many years as a legal secretary. Afterwards, she worked with the Panama Canal Commission, where she served with distinction in various capacities. She married Mr. Albert George Ameer, affectionately known as Bertie, on September 22, 1962. There were four children born of their marriage: a daughter and three sons, the 1st of which died at the age of 9 months on November 14, 1967. Sybil and Bertie built a home together for their family in Villa Caceres where many memorable events took place throughout the lives of their children, friends, and family. Bertie preceded her in death at home on August 29, 2004. Sybil was a woman of deep religious convictions, strong character, and unparalleled work ethic who was dedicated to her family. She was a loving and caring daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She worked hard and selflessly to put all three of her children though private school (Instituto Panamericano) and made sure they all went to college. Sybil, a member of the Panama Wesley Methodist Church, was a lifelong devoted servant of the Lord. Sybil enjoyed eating and cooking food, the holidays (especially Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve), spending time with her family, reading the Bible, playing the piano, sewing, scrapbooking, traveling, and dancing. Sybil is survived by her children Sharon Bernella, (an emergency medicine doctor, graduate of la Universidad de Panama), Guillermo Antonio (a Doctor of Science in Chemical Engineering graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an world-renowned professor of Biomedical Engineering and Surgery at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, U.S.A.), and Jorge Alberto (a graduate of Texas Tech University and a writer, movie director, actor and producer in Hollywood, CA, U.S.A.); two grandchildren: her brothers: Maurice and Clifton; and her nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, and a great grand nephew. Sybil, her beautiful smile, and the ways in which she influenced our lives will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and everyone who knew her. Filmmaker Jorge Ameer dedicated his film Oasis to his mother. Oasis had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, May 21, 2017. Jorge Ameer's "Oasis" was also selected as Panama's Official entry to the 2018 Academy Awards & Golden Globes.
