Sherman Yale "Nemo" Nearman

Nemo was man for all sports. He played them with heart and hustle. He had a basketball senior men´s team that could beat many college teams. He put on a 5K race in downtown Charleston starting and finishing at the old YMCA Henry Gassaway Davis statute. Nemo lived his life above the rim. RIP

Nemo was my first boss, when he had Post Haste. He was a great and patient man. I have great memories of working there along with people I went to high school with that worked there as well. RIP Nemo.

I first met Nemo when I taught with his wife Rita. There was no kinder man that I ever knew-- he had a huge heart. And he was truly a giver to his family, this city and all the venues he was a participant in. Sending love and sympathy to you, his family. Nemo left a huge legacy.

I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Nearman when the Track and Field Hall of Fame was opened on Kanawha Boulevard many years ago and I have not forgotten what an awesome person he was. RIP Mr. Nemo Nearman. Prayers to the family along with my condolences.

So sorry for your loss! He was a very kind and nice man.

What a wonderful man. He knew no strangers. With Sympathy, Allen Annie

Back in my distance running days, Nemo was a welcome presence and I very much appreciated all that he did for the sport. May his memory be a blessing...it is for me.

It was a honor to be able to take care of Nemo even if it was for a short time.Praying for his family and friends.
