So sorry for the loss of this fine young man. My family and I have known Sherman for many years. When I lived in Bartlesville he came by the house on a pretty regular basis. My grandson Skyler Kight spent alot of time with him helping with the race car. Skyler always had nothing but good things to say about him. After I lost my husband in 2012 Sherm stopped by quite often to check on us and see if we needed anything. I've seen him on several occasions at my daughters and at wal mart on my trips back to Bartlesville, and he always talked about his twins. I could tell by the sparkle in his eye that he loved them very much. He will be missed by all that knew him. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
