I was the last one to see,hug,sing happy birthday and kiss my extraordinary father goodbye on his birthday. His eyes had turned violet that morning, not the striking blue we all knew. I had an unusual feeling that morning. I stayed with him until he insisted I get to work as it was already 10am. I kissed him on the forehead and sang happy birthday, told him I loved him and I'd see him later, all in spanish, and he, as he always did, said Vaya con Dios (Go with God) daughter, I love you, all in spanish. He had an unusual burst of energy and was signing band music as I was walking out the front door, and I smiled all the way to work. He passed shortly after trying to make it out the front door for a walk. For a man who could barely walk these days due to Parkinson's disease, he passed a true Navy Seal. He never gave up. Don't give up. Live hard. Love Hard. Die hard. Good bones Dad, Good Bones. Vaya Con Dios, I'll see you there.

You will always be remembered as a dedicated teacher,a compassionate caregiver, and mostly as a dear friend. I think of you often. Rest in peace.

Hi, I have known most of the Sherman family for many years...mostly through my business,
The New Image Hair Salon.
I did have the pleasure of taking care of Dr. Sherman's hair for awhile along with the some of the children.
Sending many Blessings to all the family members.
In Love and Light.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. With sympathy, Deb

My sincerest condolences to each of you. I had the privelege of meeting Dr. Sherman when he helped teach the very first EMT class at NCCC in the early 1970s, and have considered him a friend and one of the "godfathers" of today's emergency medical care system in Winsted. We owe a great deal to his passion, compassion and dedication to all his students and patients. Sincerely, Beverly Dillon, Winsted Area Ambulance Association

I have many fond memories of growing up with my brother. I was so proud of him and all he accomplished on his own. I remember how handsome he looked in his white Navy uniform. My Dad told of him walking on the railing of the oyster boat eating a sandwich, Love always joyce

Your dad will always be remembered as a kind and compassionate doctor. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sherman family at this difficult time.

I remember Dr. Sherman as a compassionate and kind doctor. There was a time when I required surgery, and seeing my apprehension as I was being prepped he sat and held my hand, and talked with me about our gardens and flowers. I was soothed by this very caring man who I've remembered for many years.

He was my father-in-law for 16 years. Once he came to the house in Colchester when Roy and I invited him for a combination birthday/Father’s Day dinner. I had started a large grow tray of vegetables and flowers. It sat in the sun in front of the windows. Taped to its plastic cover was a table I made that correlated to the tray. Within the columns and rows of the table, I documented, within each plug, the name of each plant, the number of seeds per plug, germination time, height, as well as which was the front of the tray and which was the back, and the date the tray was made. Roy, Sr. stood quietly, studying the table, then turned to me with a slight smile and said simply, “it shows that you’re a Scientist” and I smiled. I was pleased that he, a Doctor, a man of science and my father-in-law saw me, a Scientist, a woman of science, and his daughter-in-law.
My love and thoughts out to Betty, all of the family, and most especially to Roy, Jr.
From the heart,
Jamie

Thoughts, prayers and best wishes going out to the entire Sherman Family. I think about you guys every day; love and miss you all!

I remember Roy well from working with Anesthesia Associates of Torrington. I will miss him.

What a rich life Dr. Sherman lived and his children and grandchildren will surely remember him for all he embraced. Our best wishes and condolences go out to each and every one of you, in whom his legacy will carry on. Much love, The Fecke Family

Worked for years with Andy and Roy at Winsted Memorial, became close friends over the years. I moved to CA the day before Jenny was born. I have pictures from my visit with them in Norfolk with the three youngest.

My love goes out to the sherman family. Doc Sherman was a bright individual, and sharp as a tac to the day he left this world. I'm so very glad to have known such a wonderful man. His memory will remain in my heart until we meet again.

To the family of Roy Sherman, My famliy and I are so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Our prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathy and loving thoughts go out to Dr. Shermans family. It was my pleasure to know such a sweet man and involved Father. He will be missed and will live in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

I will remember my father in all the beautiful things on earth, a warm wind, a beach sunset, birds that make you notice them, striving to be an athlete, singing and listening to music, and my insaitiable passion for healing and helping others. Most of all his voice, his blue eyes, and sense of humor. Love to Dad forever..... your Lindy Lu
