Rest Sheldon. It makes me proud remembering taking you under my wing 40 years ago and watching you spring into the musical role you longed for. Your talent was beyond those planets you later searched. My then teenaged son, Guy still laughs at situations too....You as his talented play Uncle and my Mom as a second Mom here in Hollywood. What memories!!!! Your Mom Betty is definitely celebrating your arrival l'm sure. Until we meet again Little Brother.

I learned of Sheldon when he became a member of EWF. Not sure how I missed him with Sun and The Commodores but I just loved his playing and singing! I will never forget him and the mark he made with his talent. Surely, I will be looking for everything he performed on so that I will know him better and have even more admiration for him. My condolences to his family, his friends, his bands and his fans! Love you bro!

Sheldon was a dear friend of decades. He will be sorely missed, but greatly embraced by his Mom when he reaches Heaven. I was he manager and friend when he was in Cincinnati. He would call me from time to time and I got the chance to see him with EW&F when he played Cincy. RIP my friend and brother.
