Mr. Sherry was a 1951 graduate of Versailles High School and was a successful entrepreneur all of his life initially as Paul Sherry Chevrolet which evolved to include other motor vehicle types and models and several manufacturing operations in Elkhart, Indiana. Additionally, he established his Real Estate Development businesses, the flagship of which was the Paul Sherry Industrial Park. As an avid community supporter, Paul was an Ambassador for the Piqua Area Chamber of Commerce, and advocate for local schools and athletics.
