Sherwood had worked at Western Publishing until it's closing. He then worked at IBM until his retirement.
Through the years Sherwood enjoyed golfing and fishing. He was known for his incredible clambakes. Sherwood will be missed by his golfing friends and his friends in Englewood, Florida.
In lieu of flowers we would ask people to hug a bit tighter, say I love you a bit louder and call a family/friend to say hello.
At this time because of Covid services will be private. A celebration of Sherwood's life will be given in the summer.
