Prayers for the family he was like 2nd dad to me growing up. He was my mom’s best friend at tlc and beyond. He will always have a place in my heart.
Mr. Sherwood always had conversation or a hello whenever he saw me. Would always see him riding out in Greenwood or sitting in his car on the corner. He will truly be missed in the community. Sending my condolences and prayers to the White family.
I extend heartfelt condolences on behalf of the Redding Family. I pray GOD’S Comfort and Strength for you all during this time of bereavement.
Sherwood will be missed, Loved seeing him whenever I ran into him at the store.😢
Sherwood was like an Uncle to my sister’s and I growing up…we met him when our mom started working at Scope back in the 80’s.
I couldn’t call him a family friend because in our hearts he’s always been our family.
When my late momma was fighting cancer, he was there for our family throughout.
In the later years whenever I would see him I’d get my hugs and he’d always ask about my sister’s and my daughter.
My best memories of him are being introduced to the old WJDY R&B station on the few occasions he’d take me to school after appointments, and his famous macaroni and cheese.
I know Sherwood has gone to his reward because he was a good man,through and through. I know my Momma is glad to see him in Heaven.
My sympathy and prayers with everyone who loved him.
