He was my professor at NU what seems a million lifetimes ago. I learned an invaluable lesson from him you dont need to always be correct, but you must prove your point and be convincing ! That was how I passed his class and I still use his knowledge in my everyday life. Rest In Peace Prof. Sherwood!

I apologize for my tardiness. I just learned he had passed away. To you and all of your family my condolences, a truly sad day. I am sure you are all very proud of him and rightfully so.
I can't say enough about him but I"ll try. A fine Upstanding, Witty, Provocative Man. A truly great Humanitarian. Professor Extraordinaire.
For those Naysayers and Negativists who complain about the tests or stories,...

Nicholas, I was so sad to read of your Fathers passing. Wally & I had some great times at my baseball card shows and it was a pleasure calling him my friend. Rest In Peace Wally.

It is with great sadness that I learned about a colleagues death several months later. Wally, as many affectionately called him, was my mentor and friend when I was a new teacher at Northeastern. I still have a picture of him in my office of when he first started at Northeastern taped to my fridge. I learned of his death by sending a Christmas card. I was sad for several days afterwards. He was a great mentor and I am very sorry for your loss.

Goodbye dear Wally. One of the great, weird and wonderful friends of a lifetime. I am sure I won't meet your like again. I'll be smoking a cigar for you with the sunset this weekend - just like old times.
