So sorry to see that Shermon had passed away, I was just thinking of him last week, which was the week before Christmas, I see he passed away on Christmas Day last year, I am a second cousin to him, my Father is Calvin Smith,l son of SILAS IVERN SMITH, Silas and Ivory were brothers, it’s so strange my father Calvin passed away on Christmas Day in 2018, I remember Sherm bringing his horse across the street to my grandfathers field to let them eat, I remember Sherm had the tallest pine tree on 6400 South, many memories of him, to his Family I’m so sorry for your loss.
