Roger J. Sherman

To the Sherman Family. Your dad was a great role model as a father. As a young neighbor he was always very friendly to us kids and even forgiving when we broke a window playing ball in your side yard. One night when some of us boys were suppose to be camping out in the backyard he caught us sneaking back late and handled it with tender care when he could have called our parents. Bill hope to see you at our 50th reunion in September

Family of Roger Sherman,
I was sorry to hear of the death of Roger. I knew him from Children's Hospital; but also from the fact that he was our neighbor in Canada. They owned a cottage a few hundred feet from us. My sister Connie knew him best, from the functions and trips that the Hospital was involved in.
She describes him as a disciplinarian, but a fair, honest, and good man.
He was a real asset to the community and will be missed!
God Bless Him and all of You!

Roger and I were friends many years at the Akron Zoo. Volunteeriing has always been a big part of my life and the hours spent at the Zoo and Zoo Board meetings with Roger were always "Beary" special. Akron Zoo is much bigger and better due to time and love invested in it. God Bless America and Roger Sherman. Barbie Kerch

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I always think of Roger when I enter the atrium at the zoo and remember him as he handed out his wonderful pennies. He soothed many tears and tantrums by offering his stamps and pennies to thousands of little children. My favorite memories are of him as the...
