I can still picture "Coach" walking throught he halls of Marshall High School, wearing his red windbreaker and his whistle hanging around his neck. A vision I'll have forever.

RIP Coach.

I took care of Paul during his last few days at Tudor oaks, he was such a character, very sweet man and he had a huge heart along with his family I got to spend time with and during his journey at Tudor oaks. I enjoyed taking care of Paul and I'm am glad that I made an impact. The last time I seen Paul he said to me that he wouldn't forget about me in heaven. My thoughts and prays go out to the family. He's now in a better place and will be missed.

We got a visit from my uncle Paul here in Oklahoma so many years ago. It was the strangest thing to see a man so much like my father! It was quite shocking.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Sherry family.

Another great teacher enters eternal heavenly paradise. I just want to say I realize how hard you tried to crack my hard shell of shyness. I finally got it done in the Marines. God Bless you and may you rest in peace Mr. Sherry. My deepest and sincerest sympathies to your family and friends.
