  • Obituary

    Sherman graduated from Abilene High School in Abilene, Texas in the spring of 1967. He attended the University of Maryland, Munich, Germany, Branch from 1960-1961, where he met his future wife, Pamela Kaye Leis. His family lived in Paris, France. In the summer of 1961 Sherman moved back to Texas to attend Texas Tech University to major in Chemical Engineering. In August 1964 He married Pamela Leis in Vacaville, California. They moved to Lubbock, where they both attended the University. In May 1964, Sherman graduated from Texas Tech and went to work for Texaco refining in Long Beach California. His only child, Mary Katherine (Kathie) was born on September 14 in Long Beach. Sherman worked for Texaco International in Trinidad; Lysikil, Sweden; Beri Gas Plant in Saudi Arabia; London, England; and Jubaiyl, Saudi Arabia, where he designed and oversaw the building of a modern sulphur recovery plant and transfer system that moved the sulphur to tankers in the Arabian Gulf. In 1986 He accepted a transfer back to Long Beach, California, where he designed and oversaw the building of a state-of-the-art sulphur recovery plant. In 1994, took an early retirement due to health problems. Sherman and Pamela moved to Kingwood, Texas, to be close to their daughter, who delivered their first grandchild, Nick Lardon, on November 3, in Kingwood. Nick was the light of Sherman's life. In 2000, Sherman and Pamela moved to Georgetown to be near Liberty Hill, Texas, where they intended to build a home and retire. Sherman died suddenly on December 9, 2000 in the company of his beloved sister Linda. He left behind many bereft relatives including his loving wife Pamela Kaye, daughter Katherine, son in law Jon Christian, grandchildren Nick, Madison, and Josephine. Also left bereft were his sister Linda, his mother LaNell, sister Linda, nieces Susie and Cindy and many great nieces and nephews, all of whom still feel the void and miss his giant laugh. Sherman played the Sousaphone in the high school band, ran in marathons, loved to laugh and tease with a very dry humor. He read history and had strong opinions about politics as a liberal independent. We will miss him forever.
