I grew up on Roosevelt Drive and I knew Sherman from seeing and talking t him usually on North Limestone Street. He was also a friend of Phil Tipton and we were bests friends. Now for a story. In 1967 I am serving aboard the carrier USS Constellation off the coast of Vietnam. I am in the chow hall and across the table sits Sherman Stewart from Springfield, Ohio. We became friends and would have meals together several times weekly. One day in late June 1967 Sherman asked me if I would like to go home early, like now. He gave me instructions to mail all my stuff home and only retain the basics in a small gym bag. He worked in ships personnel office and had secret knowledge about sending sailors home early for discharge. About a week later at 2:30 AM, Sherman came to my bunk and said come with me your going home. He took me to the flight officer who checked my medical records and papers Sherman had prepared and put me on a departing C1A plane going to Subic Bay. After 3 weeks bouncing all over the pacific I finally arrived at Travis Air Force base in California. I was home with my wife in Springfield first week in August. I never forgot that extra assistance Sherman provided to leave Vietnam early for discharge. Rest In Pease My Friend, I have Never Forgot You. George Pollock AK3, RVAH-12 Squadron.

Sherman was a fine person. As an athlete at Springfield North HS, he was one of the best on the NHS football and basketball teams. He was quite muscular and although he wasn´t super tall, he could dunk a basketball. May God provide him with wonderful circumstances in the spiritual realm.

Scherer was a very well liked classmate in high school. He was a very nice person and a great athlete. I am very sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace, Friend.
