May Sherman rest in heavenly peace. Now he’s up there cutting up with his buddies from back in the day…mom, Chatter, and Nin. There were others but I remember them the most. The laughter mainly. No days like those. Blessings and prayers to the family. -Katrina
I remember Brother Sherman very well. He was truly a good man and a good Elk Brother when he was able to be active. Rest in Paradise Brother.

I am so sadden to hear “Daddy Sher” has Gone Home. He & Non were so good to me Ralph & Kathy back in the days we were neighbors. We became family. We played, we shared, we loved.
If you knew Daddy Sherm there is one thing you would never forget, his laugh! You had to laugh right along with him. I am so glad that Nin, Daddy Sherm and each of you were a part of my growing up!
Family please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Sherman was a good soul, he could make you laugh just by calling your name in a way only he could do. Gina and I enjoyed our visits with him at the nursing home, he always had us laughing and was happy that we stopped in to share time with him. R.I.P Mr. Sherman God Bless!

My sincere condolences to the family 🙏🏽💕
Rest In Peace my Friend 🙏🏿
My favorite Uncle he was a beautiful soul. He was the life of the party you could say he always had jokes and was very funny and a natural comic. He would have you rolling on the floor laughing with most of the conversations that he and his brother William and Coklyn had. Unc would always come and visit us everytime he came to philly. I pray that Jehovah god gives our family the comfort to get through this. P.I.P Uncle Sherman I love you to infinity.
Sending my condolences to everyone. We were neighbors in Somers Cove when I was very young.
