He will be deeply missed by his children and their spouses: Sandra & Donald; Randy; Michael & Lisa and Denis & Andrea. Sherman was “Papa” to his grandchildren and their partners, André & Mayra; Renée & Kyle; and Hannah, as well as his great-grandchildren, Beckett, Evelyne, and Rylen, all of whom brought him immense pride and joy.

Sherman dedicated 33 years of his life to a career as a miner for Inco, beginning underground as a driller before retiring as a foreman at Garson mine.
