In Memory



Today while talking to my good friend and sister Mamie, I received shocking news. Sherman,a dear acquittance and friend passed away yesterday. I had first met Sherman years ago when I first came out. He was always the scenester and the life of the party. Sherman was also the official dee-jay and video camcord person for many of our big parties. He caught many a footage of the Mistress talking of pass husbands on video! And he always had a wonderful heart. Since moving from Harrisburg, the only time I would see him was on return visits to home or lately, it was while gay camping where we sat and regaled stories and good times at parties of yester-year! Sherman- will will be missed. And every time I hear "It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day" I will think of you.

  4. My God, Maddie...did that song bring back memories. Can't you just see him making his way around the edge of the dance floor, hopping and me behind him trying to keep up. How he loved the Halloween parties and dressing like a pimp. Are you coming to the service...viewing Friday night 7-9 and funeral Saturday at 11??

  6. I can remember Sherman kicking it on the dance floor to this song!

    He was one of the first people I met when I came out. Actually, we encountered each other a few times at Penn State before we both moved back to Harrisburg. And he was the only other "out" person I talked to when we both worked at PHEAA.

    Sherman will certainly be missed.

    XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

  11. Everyone who knew Sherman, please try to make it this weekend. I know nothing would have made him any happier than to see the old gang together one more time.
