I fell in love with Robert Sherrill when I read and reviewed his book "The Accidental President" back in the 1960s.

Thank you for a life well lived.

Thank you, Mr. Sherrill, for your brilliant journalism.

I had the pleasure of having Bob as a teacher in college, after which he became a mentor to me as a young reporter. I so admired his writing, and he had a great influence on my career. My condolences.

to Mrs. Sherrill. Please accept my deepest condolences. I was a reporter for the Washington Post for many years and I was a great admirer, and friend of Bob's. He would give me his advice from time to time and it was always brilliant.

Sincerely, George Lardner Jr.
