Stuart Charles Sherman

Stu was born July 14, 1938 to Sam and Dorothy Sherman and grew up in "Da Bronx". Stu attended DeWitt Clinton High School (New York), Allegheny College (PA), and Brooklyn Law School. After admission to the NY & 2nd Federal District Bar, Stu had a short career practicing law and banking, he became part of a nursing home startup company in Kansas City. After that, Stu started a company that developed and managed apartments in Kansas, Missouri, and Louisiana. In 1973, he sold that company and moved the family to Albuquerque to be the development manager for the Sheraton Old Town Inn (now the Hotel Albuquerque). Remaining in Albuquerque, Stu developed commercial real estate projects mostly in Albuquerque and Santa Fe including being an original developing partner of the Hotel Eldorado. Stu was an active member of the Albuquerque community including Monte Vista Elementary school PTA, board member at Sandia Prep School, early board member of the Balloon Fiesta and Ski New Mexico, Chairman of the Albuquerque Airport Advisory committee, and a UNM Faculty Adjunct. Stu was an avid tennis player and skier, and after giving up those sports, took up golf and his claim to fame is hitting two holes in one on the number six hole at the Albuquerque Country Club. When he turned eighty, he bragged that he could shoot his age, but only through holes fifteen and sixteen at ACC. Stu is survived by the love of his life and best friend of 63 years, Rosalie. Their life together started as a summer romance in 1959. Married in 1961, they created a beautiful family, dearly loved and respected by Stu. Daughter Tracy Sherman, son Andy and Daughter-in-Law Hollis, cherished grandchildren Max and Dorothy, Son Keith, and Daughter Candee Stanton. He is also survived by brother Michael and nephews Adam and Roger. Stu leaves behind many longtime friends who were such an important part of his life, and so many friends of his children whom he mentored and whose successes he enjoyed. Interment was a private graveside ceremony. Shiva will be held Wednesday March 15, at 6:30PM at the family home. A celebration of life will be held Friday March 17 from 5-7PM at the Albuquerque Country Club. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Albuquerque Jewish Community Center.

To Keith & family,
I probably knew Stu longer than everyone. We lived across Sedgwick Ave from each other in the 40´s & early `50´s. We both attended PS 86 & graduated DeWitt Clinton HS together in 1956. I still have the Clintonian yearbook with his crew cut photo from 1956 when we graduated. About 10 old timers from the Kingsbridge section of The Bronx remember Stu.
My son Scott in LA befriended Keith about 20 years ago & I found my longtime classmate.
As I remember, he was quite a nice guy.

He was always Mr. Sherman to me. I loved him and his humor and his sweet personality. I babysat for Tracy, Andy, and Keith when they were all just kiddos on McDuffy Circle. I had such admiration for him and the way he loved them and the way he adored Rosalie.
Such a special person. Loved by everyone.
My condolences to all of you. I can't imagine how much he will be missed.
Love, Lizzy
