I find it hard to believe that its been 7 years since his passing. Sherm was a colorful character and I enjoyed
knowing and working for him. R.I.P. Sherm.

To you Lois, and the rest of the family
I send my deepest sympathies. It is a
sad day for me knowing Sherm is gone. I
spent 11 years working with Sherm at
what we then called Coil Anodizers. He
was one of the best supervisors I've
ever had the pleasure of working with.
He had the ability to get the best out
of his people who worked for him. He
lived to tell the jokes. He was really
good at telling them too. We worked
together and partied together and it
was one of the best periods in my life.
Sherms memory wil be with me always, as
I know it will be with you also.
God bless you all and stay well.
Chuck Shineldecker of Tucson,Az.
