For many years Sol was an outstanding racquetball player at the Standard Club in Chicago-beating much younger men. His son John and I were contemporaries and attended a football camp in Minnesota one summer. Think he told me about being the first NFL player to throw a pass for an extra point in the 73-0 game. Wonderful memories.

sherman family was friendly with mine-johnny and I were contemporaries & played football-saul was a great paddleball player at the standard club-was a humble guy was always nice to me-we'd go to their home in winnetka to swim-also knew his daughter kathy

Mr. Sherman and his wife, Devorah were fun and interesting to be around. Nothing prevented Devorah from voicing her opinion on anything and Saul would just watch. I loved his dry sense of humor. It's hard to believe they've been gone so long. Poor Shirley just passed away last year! She also was a grand lady.

my parents were friendly with Saul & Devorah-his son John & I were friends-he was a great athlete & racquet ball player at the Standard Club for many years-had a great sense of humor-he was my idol

My deepest, sincerely sympathy is with all of you during this time of sorrow. I shared many happy times with Saul and Devorah during the past 40 years of being neighbors. I truly enjoyed talking about his football years, as his spirits picked up instantly. They were a beautiful and entertaining couple and will be missed by all. Warmly, Pat Cohen

We remember your Dad as a great paddleball champion at the Standard Club, and a truly nice man who was always happy to say hello, and had a comforting manner and easy laugh. He was always nice to Nancy and me. I remember being at your home in Winnetka many times. We will miss your Dad--a true mensch. Nancy and Dan Pollack

Your father was a wonderful man and a good friend for many years before illness befell him. Although we have never met I want to extend my condolences. Many in the community, like me have fond memories of him. May the good Lord console you during this trying time.
