Donald J. "Donnie" Sherman, 75, a resident of West Mountain in Scranton, died Thursday morning at home unexpectedly. He is survived by his wife, the former Barbara Howells.
Born in Scranton, he was the son of the late Alfred and Emily Marsh Sherman and attended West Scranton High School. He was a proud United States Air Force veteran, and before retirement, he was a United States postal carrier in the Taylor area for 35-plus years. Donnie would do anything for anyone and was loved by many. He especially loved his grandsons, Mark Jr. and Max Snyder. They were the pride and joy of his life.
