Message: Sherman Montgomery, He was my father's brother and I did not get to know him until the last 20 years or so in his life. After I met him and got to know him I grieved that I did not know him and his family as I was growing up. He was an example of an honest and kind person. He lives on in his wife and children and my thoughts are frequently with them.
