Mrs. Anne, I'm saddened to read that Sherwood has passed away. I wish that we had more years to work together before he retired. He was my favorite boss and taught me to love the business. He was such a gentleman as you are a lady. I'll pray you and the family find peace with his passing. God bless you 🙏
Mr. Stewart was a joy to have as a neighbor. He would come across the alley, singing, to speak with my father about his bow. One day he was driving on the same road as I was when a car hit me. He stopped because he recognized me and he recognized that the car that hit me was insured through him. He asked me to tell him what the damage was worth and within a few days I had a check. He also kept a pony pin his back yard. For all the Saints who from their labors rest....
Our entire family here in Morgan county is very sad. For more than 60 years Sherwood has been a dear friend. He was my bowhunting companion and mentor. He and I made wonderful memories bowhunting Elk in western states and deer in Alabama. We celebrated his 70th birthday on a ranch in Montana while bowhunting. He hosted my 10 yr old son in 1986 on his first ever successful bowhunt. He was more than our insurance agent, he was part of the family. He prayed many times for Betty as she fought M.S. He visited her in the hospital in Birmingham. We consider it a great blessing to have known him as a personal friend. May God bless you Alice and the family . Danny and Betty Lewis
Anne, I am so sorry spell check misspelled your name as Alice on my earlier post. I certainly know the sweet lady who was the love of his life. Please forgive me. Danny
Our love and prayers are with you and your family.
Over the past 14 years I have visited Mr. Sherwood many times at his home. He was my friend AND bow hunting partner. We shared several hunts together and he was always interested in my hunting stories and trophy bucks. Every visit began with his favorite line, "Tell me about the hunt!" For several years it was my pleasure to process venison for him and Mrs. Stewart--personally! On one particular visit I asked him about his wartime service, the mood of the country, and what was the greatest change he experienced in his life. It was a marvelous conversation--a living history lesson! Sometimes, special people come into our lives, spouses and children, for sure. For me, a good hunting partner is also one of those special people--Mr. Sherwood was mine. My bowhunting this year will be dedicated to his memory and his appreciation of 'the hunt.' I miss him! Small in size, but grand in stature and heart.
I always enjoyed seeing Sherwood and Miss Anne at the beauty shop. He was always so friendly and a true gentleman. He lived a long exciting life. Praying for Miss Anne and the rest of the family. Harriett York
