Sherrie and Mrs. Sharpe,

I was shocked and sadden to hear of the death of your dad/husband. I have great memories of him with us at so many ball games through the years. He was always a happy, smiling man. I am so sorry for your loss.

Our prayers are with you,

Mel, Chris, Jacob, & Zachary

I can remember my sister and I playing with Sherrie when we were children and Mr. Sharpe would take us to Barr's Store for a treat.Within the last few years I would sometimes see Mr. Sharpe at Wal-Mart passing out newspapers and I would stop and talk with him and we would laugh about when Sherrie, Chris and I were young. He was a good man and will be missed. My family was shocked when we hear about his passing late Saturday afternoon. May he rest in peace.

Barbara and Sherrie,

I am so sorry to hear about your husband and dad. He was wonderful at keeping us girls from getting into a lot of trouble. I am sorry I did not keep in touch with him and Barbara. I think of your family often and miss my friendship with Sherrie. May God keep you under his wing. Lisa, Larry and ALlie.
