I am so saddened by Gerry's passing. He and his whole family were treasured neighbors for many years. He is more like family than friend and neighbor. My heart goes out to Bev, Diane and Dan. Your dad's passing certainly marks an end to an era.

What a wonderful legacy Mr. Sherman has left us. Folks may not have known him but they knew his name and the joy that the simple pleasure of enjoying ice cream brought to so many. Obviously there is so much more to this man but I keep thinking of the fun and joy, seeing little kids walk out of Sherman's, their eyes growing as they saw their treats. What a wonderful gift to leave the community and so many more. Thank you Diane and the Sherman family for sharing your dad with us.

May our love and prayers surround you Bev, Dan and Diane and your families. Your father’s greatest legacy is of course his and your mom’s fabulous family. But what he has done for our hometown is immeasurable. The happiness Sherman Dairy has brought to generation after generation can never be topped. I’m sure he and you mom are playing a round of golf followed by a pigs dinner! Love to all of you.

Our parents were good friends for many decades and our dads spent more time together after their wives passed away. Gerry was such a class act. He is about the last of that Grestest Generation in South Haven. He, along with all of them, are sorely missed.

My condolences to all the family. Gerry was a great guy and he was my first boss when I worked downtown at Sherman’s. A lovely man.

Diane, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was adored by all of us at the Senior Center for his positive upbeat attitude. I would ask him every day how his lunch was and he always said it was wonderful:) Even on days when I'm sure he didn't like what was being served. What an incredibly sweet man and what an incredible loss for all of your family and the community of South Haven. Hugs, Diane Rigozzi

I would like to express my sympathies to the Sherman Family. Whenever Mr. Sherman came into pay the electric Bill's, he always had a smile and very friendly. I used to always compliment the butter pecan ice cream and how I couldn't try any other flavors, he would always laugh that half smile. He is with his spouse now. GOD bless you and family.

Mr. Sherman was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He's the only man I have known to marry "The Vacation Queen of South Haven"! His love of family was the highest of I have ever seen in my life.Rest well Mr. Sherman

One of South Haven's finest has departed our midst. If the City of South Haven had ever decided to select an ambassador to represent the goodness in our city, it would have been Gerry Sherman. I pray that all members of the Sherman family will find peace and solace in the Promise of the Resurrection.
