I was a patient of Dr. Sherman's for many years and didn't hear of his passing until recently. I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

He was a kind person with a wonderful sense of humor, he will certainly be missed but fondly remembered.

I was saddened today to read about Dr. Sherman's passing. Being in the office on May 20th, I was unaware of his passing and was able to see him and wish him well. No only my dentist, I considered him a friend since going to him in the early 90's. It was reassuring to see that one the doctors chosen by the family comes from Northwestern University, the alma mater of my father. May he rest, and his spirit live on in all of us.

I was Steve's dental technician when I lived in Boca Raton. Our friends sent us this obituary and we were shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful dentist and a pleasure to work for. Our prayers are with his family as they go through this difficult time.

I only met Dr Sherman a few times. But each one of those time stands out as a good memory. After meeting him for the first time, I remember thinking to my self; I wish there were more people like him in this world. Even if he didn’t know you that will, he would still treat you like a friend. One of the last times we spoke was the day he found out about the cancer. We must have talked for two hours about life and family that day. We told each other stories and just talked about how much life really means. Dr. Sherman will always be remembered as many wonderful things, but for me, he’ll be remembered as someone I called friend.

When I first met Steve in 1982,I remember telling him..."don't hurt me and I will pay my bill." He was the most gentle, competent, caring dentist and became a friend. We used to talk about Jason and our daughter Robin, same class at Boca Middle and High School and compare notes as the years went by. I have a beautiful smile, thanks to Dr. Sherman. One of the hardest things about moving to Tallahassee was leaving my favorite dentist. My heart aches, but I am thankful that our paths in life were able to cross. I will miss him dearly and know that my life is richer for having known Steve Sherman.
