David Sherman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 15, 2023.


David R. Sherman, age 76, of Milford, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at home on September 8th, 2023, after a long-fought battle with brain cancer. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, of 20 years, his ex wife, Eileen Emberger, along with his children; Scott, Kathleen, Andrew, and Matthew (Lisa) Sherman and is survived by his brother James Michael (Lisa) Sherman of Milford and sister Linda Stoddard of Fort White, along with many other relatives and friends.

David is proceeded in death by his parents Florenz (Sherm) and Mary (Alford) Sherman, his stepson, Andrew Kobbs, his nephew James, and his mother-in-law, Jean Burr.

David founded and worked for many years at TINAH Machine Shop as a CNC Machinist and was co-founder of ReFoamIt LLC. His passion was playing golf and cherished his time playing in golf leagues at his favorite courses, Blissful Meadows, Millwood, and recently in the Renegades Golf League with his brother Mike or taking golfing trips to Myrtle Beach with friends, Ron, Jeano and John. He was a member of the Framingham Eagles and Framingham Elks.

Many weekends, you could find Dave at the farmer's markets, selling fish with his wife or pickles for his brother.

After his retirement, David enjoyed weekend trips with his wife by his side. He will be remembered for his love of golf and his jolly warm smile and willingness to help anyone. He ran a cocker spaniel rescue at his farm in Douglas for many years and always wanted a dog in the house.

Please join his family and friends to celebrate his life on Saturday, November 11 at 2:00 pm, at the Framingham Elks, 450 Union Ave., in Framingham.

Memorial Contributions can be made to Project Just Because, 77 South Street, Hopkinton, MA 01748, to Dana Farber Jimmy Fund or to a charity of your choice.

I'm wondering if this is the David Sherman I knew in Roswell GA. He married a woman named Barbara and moved to MA I believe.

I went to his Senior prom with him. I was a freshman and he was senior. Had a great time. Shared time with him and Eileen before they got married and after when they lived in Woodville in Nelson's old house. I lived at 226 Wood Street, right on the corner by the post office. Good memories of him.
