Just found out about Dr. Sherry's death. He was a wonderful doctor. He treated patients with respect and concern, and I always felt secure in his knowledge and skilled care. My deepest sympathies to Sheila (who was always always wonderful when I was a patient) and the rest of the family.

I first met Dr. Sherry in April 1982 when I broke my leg - as it turned out quite seriously. Almost ten years later I turned to him again when I broke my other leg - again quite seriously. In all my encounters with him Dr. Sherry listened carefully, explained much, counseled patience, offered empathy, provided wisdom, and practiced medicine artfully and skillfully. Every time I left his office I felt better. I will miss him.
