Born on May 9, 1940, in Fisher, WV, he was a son of the late William Highberger Sherman and Ada May Cook Sherman. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister and three brothers.
George was a kind and generous man who loved his Lord, his family, and helping others. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who enjoyed taking pictures of his trips and wildlife. He also enjoyed walking on the beach and finding shark’s teeth. He had a passion for everything concerning nature. His favorite pastime was going to the camp, sitting on the porch swing and listening to the river. He was a U.S. Army Veteran, retired from Hester Industries after 40 years but could not stand being idle and decided to go to work at American Woodmark for several years.
