Joe was a far-sighted man who was not fully appreciated by the medical staff over which he presided. He was both compassionate with his emplyees, passionate about his medical projects and honest and faithful to his employees. A man far ahead of his time, he had visions most of us could never imagine. He will be missed by those who truly knew him.

Working for Joe Sherber was an honor. Not only did he care about every patient and doctor at JFK, he guided employees with his knowledge, caring and respect. We all strived to live up to his expectations and knew that he would notice, if his expectations were not achieved we would hear about it, allowed to rectify it and start anew. Rest in peace Mr. Sherber for you are well remembered and you accomplished much in your lifetime.

I worked at JFK in the 70's Mr. Sherber was always a wonderful person to work for and with.
He was kind and very smart the hospital was a great place to work at and be part of. He would always visit employees when they were ill and in the hospital,just a great guy

To the Sherber family,
Very sorry to hear the news. Joe was a great friend of my fathers. Still have fond memories of shared vacations long ago with the Sherbers.
From conversations with my father, Joe certainly lived a long and full life and would hope that would offer some comfort to family and friends alike.

To Joe's Family
Lee and I have so many memories of Joe and all of you. From our days in the 1950's while Joe and I were attending the Columbia School of Public Health to Joe and Susan's move to Saratoga Springs at the beginning of the 21'st Century.
For me, he has been "my best friend!"
While working Sunday mornings as a volunteer care giver at a hospice type care home called Mary’s Haven, I read a card which conveyed a thought that I wish to share with you.
“All that we can know about those who have loved and lost” (Thornton Wilder wrote) is that they would wish us to remember them with a more intensified realization of their reality. What is essential clarifies. The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude.”
We trust that in the days ahead you will find comfort with the support of family and friends.
Love, John and Lee
