Semper Fi Marine!
Been said Leathernecks never die, just pass on to regroup.
Thanks for taking time to haul Herb around to visit. Not sure which of you characters had a better 'slice of life'.
Enjoyed your visits, our time to talk, especially hearing tales of your Dad and Brothers.
Decent cat Sherm, anyone that knows/knew you always has something good to tell me.
Honored to have known you amigo, very happy Kellie's "blood and family" includes Ian.

Sup with Chesty Marine, your place at table well seated.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to All the Family. What a Great man he will be Greatly missed. Could not have a better friend. I first came to know Sherman in the early 80's at Eastern Oregon Farming Company he had worked with K&S systems installing one of the first telemetry systems in the area.

He held our hand when we crossed the street. He taught us to make kites from newspaper and how to fly them. He gave us dancing and driving lessons and helped us move so many times. He cried with us when grief struck while - still being strong for all of us. He advised us and he told us the truth. We were always glad to see him, we never fought. He gave his time, his possessions and his love without hesitation or regret. We trusted him and respected him and loved him and we knew we were protected by him.
I hope you are experiencing the wonders of all creation Sherm, because I know how you would appreciate them. I love you always and will try to live well, the way you showed us.

Sherman was such a great guy, seems I have known him most of my life. He had the best smile, always happy, funny funny man. He was very proud of his family, always had a story to tell. He will be greatly missed, didn't see him often but he always had time for a "visit". My prayers and thoughts are with you all as you move forward, when I think of him it will always be with a smile.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I have some great memories of Sherman. I believe it was either fourth or fifth grade when I found a piece of broken mirror left in my desk at school. On the front it said, "I love you", on the back it said, "Sherman". A very found memory indeed. Please accept our thoughts and prayers. It was so good to visit with Sherman and his sister at the last reunion we attended. Sharon

I just took a walk on my break from work and read about Mr. Hill's passing in the EO. Mr. Hill was always positive and encouraging with his kids and also with me. You can never have enough individuals like that in your life. He was a kind and impactful soul. RIP Mr. Hill. Love and prayers to you Dave from the Richards family.

Another great soul taken too soon. You were a wonderful grandfather to my sisters' children. You were also a gracious and loving host to us, as your extended family, always taking the time to pay attention to all the family members, especially the kids. Gone but not forgotten. Rest in paradise Sherm :)

So sorry to hear of Sherm's passing. I really appreciated his character and personality as a fellow bus driver here in Irrigon. This is truly a great loss to our community and especially his "kids" on the brown route. Praying for God's comfort for the family in this time of loss...
