John White wrote a sympathy message

“With much sadness I write this note of condolence about my favorite male college professor and friend. As a Sociology Major at Florida A & M Dr. Sherman was a giant in the field as I was one of his students. Both, in undergraduate and graduate school. A mild mannered, well prepared deliverer of data. He always took time to share knowledge and even taught you through conversation, if you listened. I often called on him long after school was over. God bless his spirit as his family. John White”
