Peter Sherman
February 17, 1941 - February 15, 2021
Matthews, North Carolina - Peter Collins Sherman passed peacefully in his home in Matthews, NC on February 15, 2021. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 17, 1941, son of Paul Francis Sherman and Nina Henry Sherman. He graduated with pride from Valley Forge Military Academy where he was an avid fencer and ham radio operator. Pete went on to get his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Pittsburgh. It was during this time that he met his first wife, Zoe Warwick. He raised his family in Pittsburgh and then Charlotte, NC. Pete had a passion for wood working, refinishing furniture and working on cars. He became a small plane pilot. He spent many weekends boating with his family on Lake Norman. Later on he moved onto dry land and became an RV enthusiast. He mastered crab grass eradication and was persistently challenged by trying to grow grass in the shade. Squirrels were his ultimate nemesis. Pete enjoyed many careers including accounting and computer programing. While studying computers, he met and eventually married the love of his life, Diane May Peppard (Deceased). Pete made many friends along the way through multiple book clubs, RV clubs, his years of service volunteering at Charlotte Douglas Airport, and through Friendship Force. It is there he met his amazing and loving partner, Patricia Lahey.
He is survived by his son, Paul (Chris) Sherman; daughter Zoe (Cassie) Sherman (Craig Norville and son Alex); stepson Jeff Peppard (Amy and sons Aiden and Tommy); stepson Jarrett Peppard (Denise and children Brennan, Colman, and Sarah). We would also like to acknowledge his brothers, Danny Snyder, Ron Snyder, Bud Snyder, and Dennis Snyder (deceased).
