Ben was one of those few, unique individuals who understood his place in life. He was happy and content, I believe, because he did all of the important things well. He was an excellent husband and father and a loyal and valued friend. All those who were priviledged to share his frienship were blessed. Thanks to all of you for sharing this remarkable man with us.

Mrs. Shervin, Vince, and the rest of the Shervin family,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband and father. As a classmate and teammate of Vince's at CDHS, I have very fond memories of Mr. Shervin. He was a loyal supporter of our soccer team and was always happy and just a very, very nice man. Although I have not seen him in many years, I remember him as if I just saw him last week. I am sure you are all deeply saddened at this time, but one thing is for sure, I'm certain you all have very fond memories of him that you will be able to feel great about and I am also certain that he is smiling down upon all of you right now. My prayers are with each of you and Mr. Shervin as well.

Dear Carol and Family,
I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I always remember your Dad as being a staple at the CD Girls basketball games always willing to give advice or lend support. He truly had a love of the game. May he rest in peace.

To all the Shervins,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you at this saddest of times. I have so many wonderful memories from my childhood. I was lucky enough to run into Mr. Shervin at a G.A. basketball game a few years back. I'm glad for that and the kind words he said. I will keep you all in my prayers. They are now playing basketball up there in heaven.
Much aloha,

Dear Ann, Greg, Kathryn and the Shervin family,
For the short time I knew your father, he made quite an impression on me and years ago he made quite an impression on my husband, Larry, when he coached him in b-ball. Your father always had time to talk, share a smile and give a friendly handshake. His love for the game of basketball is inspiring. I will miss seeing him around the gyms. Our deepest sympathy for you and your family. Sincerely, Ali and Larry Simpson
