Sherman was defiantly one of a kind and marched to his own beat. He was well know in our community as he rode his golf cart around, talking to anybody willing to listen. Sherman enjoyed life and loved his family unconditionally. He was always happy and willing to help anyone do anything. Sherman always took pride in mowing grass, tending to his roses, and having coffee time. He was blessed with a big family who loved him and they have made a lifetime of memories that will forever be cherished.
