Great neighbor
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Sherrer's passing. I knew something was amiss since the sun has been out and he hasn't been outside, perfecting his backyard. I've been his neighbor since 2015 and you could always count on him to have the nicest lawn in the neighborhood. He was always friendly and offered a wave. My prayers are with his friends and family.
My friend
