Obituary for Gary Sherman
Gary C. Sherman, of Fremont, NE, passed away Sunday, May 1, 2022 in Bartlesville, OK. He was born on October 5, 1943 in Fremont, NE to Chester (Bud) and Dorothy (Jensen) Sherman.
Gary grew up in Fremont. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1959 to 1962. He was a mechanic at Hormel. Gary married Ethelanne Boothe on November 3, 1993 at Little Brown Church of Las Vegas, NV
Gary was “The Guy”. He could do anything. He put so much energy in just living. He would attempt any new thing with the assurance that he could do it. His favorite paint brush is over 30 years old. He had to wash it out because no one could get it as clean as he would. He painted without any tape and it looked professional. Whether it was wood working, welding, painting, plumbing, tiling or whatever he would be game. He loved to tinker with old cars and painted many of them.
And Gary loved food. He loved to cook, whether it be Monster Cookies or Pizza, he delighted in being the most energetic, humorous cook you’ve ever seen.
Gary was a loving, caring, funny, generous, loud and energetic husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend. He enjoyed skating, bowling, and working on old cars.
Gary was member of the Eagle’s for 42 years and a lifetime member of the VFW.
Military graveside service will be 10:00 A.M.,Thursday, October 5, 2023 at Memorial Cemetery in Fremont.

Doyle (Cathy) Risch of Howells and Dustin (Shayla) Risch of Snyder; daughter-in-law, Christine Risch of Howells; brother, Rodney Sherman of Fremont; sister, Kristi (Darrel) Brinkman of Bartlesville, OK; 7 grandchildren; 13 step-grandchildren; 3 great grandchildren, and 7 step-great grandchildren.
