John Sherman Sherry of Lafayette, Calif., loving husband, father and grandfather passed away on the morning of December 12 at the young age of 77 years.
John was married to his wife of 48 years, Arletta, with whom he had two boys, Erik and Kris. Always a family man, John looked forward to long weekends outdoors where he fished, hunted, camped and, most importantly, spent time with family.
"Papa Sherry" took extreme pride in his two grandchildren - Addisyn, 3 years old, and Colton, 5 months - and took every opportunity to play silly games and to have fun with them.
John was passionate about life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He never took a day for granted and managed to find the silver lining in every situation. John would not want us to cry because we are sad, but to laugh and remember all the wonderful memories we shared of him.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation of your time or money to your favorite charity or to the Lafayette Rotary Club where John was a past-president and active member.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, January 15 at Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church. Reception will follow.
