I first met Sherman through a dear military friend & neighbor of Sherman. (Gary "Cheese" McMillian). We went fishing down at Choke Canyon & later on his both at Calaveras Lake. He was a generous & down to earth brother. I am so very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences, love & prayers for his love ones. I just found out that Sherman had passed at Gary´s funeral yesterday.
