Deepest Sympathy to the family.
My grandpa was a one of a kind man ..That was always there when you needed anything … And when it came to advice ,it may have not been what you wanted to hear but he was almost always right …We love and miss you and you maybe sleeping with the angles now but you will never be forgotten… Love you
Gordon Sherman Family – My thoughts and prayers are with you as God has called Gordon home.
I was fortunate to know Gordon for 76 years and no one could have had a better big brother. Besides his dedication to family, he will be remembered for his love of animals.
Love,
Sis
What I remember about Gordon is that he was a soft-spoken, quiet man who loved animals. Rest in peace Gordon.
