Sherman was one of the kindest and most positive spirited men I ever knew. I will always remember how cheerful and full of laughter he was when we played in several high school dramas together, especially his role as Lazar Wolfe in Fiddler on the Roof. I am sorry for his passing at what should be considered an early age, and give my condolences and deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones. Sincerely, Scott Austin
