WILLIAM SHERPICK Obituary

SHERPICK, William E. MD, "Bill" Of Needham, MA, passed away on June 14, 2018 at his home, just shy of his 93rd birthday. He leaves his wife of 60 years, Mary (Taylor), and four daughters Sarah Taymore and her husband Bruce, Elizabeth "Lee" Kenyon and her husband Walter, Brooke Mohr and her husband Charlie, and Ann Sherpick and her husband Walter Stewart. He also leaves his six grandchildren: Cooper and Crosby Taymore, Taylor Mohr, and Sarah, Emily, and Julia Stewart, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, step grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was the son of the late Eugene Arthur and Nelle (Edwards) Sherpick. He was predeceased by his sister, Ann (Sherpick) Lovell and brother, Eugene Sherpick. Dr. Sherpick was a retired Obstetrician and Gynecologist who practiced in Farmington, Connecticut and at Hartford Hospital. He was a graduate of Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Haverford College and Phillips Exeter Academy. Bill enjoyed family travel, sailing, tennis, gardening, home repairs, and golf. He was a member of the Exchange Club in Farmington. He was an accomplished woodworker, crafting furniture for family and friends. Bill was born in Brooklyn, NY, and lived in Scarsdale, NY and then New York City and Hawaii during his medical training. He then moved to Farmington, CT, where he and Mary settled and raised their girls and dogs. He enjoyed spending time shoreside on Shelter Island, NY, and later in Wareham, MA. After retirement, he and Mary moved to Needham to be closer to their children. Bill's family wishes to thank the team members at North Hill and Pines Edge, as well as his caregivers Laura, Elaine and Joan for their care and support.

My fondest thoughts to the family of a doctor that meant so much to me as I
traveled through life in Farmington. He was just the kind of doctor I needed.
How fortunate I was to have his knowledge, experience and good humor..

Good friend, great colleague, excellent physician. He taught me at Hartford Hospital in the 60s when I came up from P and S. He taught me well and I stayed 50 years. Miss him. Mark Izard MD

Please accept my condolences upon the death of your Husband and Father.
Dr Sherpick will always remain a very special person in my life, not only as my doctor, but also in my nursing career at Hartford Hospital.
He saw me through many years of infertility issues, and shared in our joy when he delivered our daughter, and our son about two years later.
In reading his obituary, I found it interesting that he settled in Needham, and spent his last days at North Hill. Our daughter has also settled in Needham, and lives on a property that borders North Hill. I often walked our grandchildren up that hill in their little red wagon, not knowing that the man who made this experience possible was so close by!
Please find comfort and peace in the days ahead, and know that we appreciate him and his life as well.

Please accept our condolences. Bill was my doctor for many years and had a hand in delivering both our daughters. His farmington office was adorned with "plexiglas" that my husband's company provided. My fondest memory is of Bill and my husband, Jim, discussing glass bottom boats as I was in the throe's of labor.
The Mary and the office staff were always welcoming and professional.
We will cherish all the fond memories of this epic time in our lives.
