Dear Clara & family,
Sheldon was a dear man, and I’m sure he’ll be missed by all who knew him. It was a pleasure to work with him at Rohrer’s Hardware.

Dear Clara and Family,
It saddened me to read of Sheldon’s passing. I went through CHS with him and considered him to be one of the truly good guys, with great respect for others and a good sense of self-worth, a rare thing even in those days. This earth will be a less blessed place without him. So very sorry for your loss.
