Freddie and I were so sorry to hear of George's passing. Ever eager to share his passion for work, I recall one evening he devoted to explaining the intricate workings of hydraulic brakes to me at a dinner party. He will always be full of energy and life in our hearts and minds.

George Sherman was a kind, generous and Wonderful person. My family and I are extremely grateful to have met Mr.Sherman who helped me start my business. Without Mr.Sherman I wouldn’t be where I am today. He was always there to offer his advice and help to me and my family. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to meet someone so special and feel very fortunate to have been able to work for him. I will always remember Mr.Sherman fondly and with much appreciation. My condolences, love, and prayers are with his family who I also adore and appreciate very much.

George was a wonderful and generous man and I was fortunate to know him. He was a long-time investor in ReBUILD Metro's efforts to revitalize East Baltimore. George was one of the most engaged and interested supporters of our work. He always made time for me, taking my calls in airports and hotels or stopping to walk the neighborhood. He had an authentic concern that his investment in ReBUILD Metro would make a difference for the families of East Baltimore. He was the best example of a leader; he balanced his compassion with his drive and intellect to encourage the best possible outcomes in others. He was a blessing and I will honor him by following the leadership example he set.
My thoughts and prayers are with Betsy and the entire Sherman family.

Dear Betsy and family: I’m so grateful for the chance to have connected with George over the years. Reading so many wonderful memories brings me back to our first lunch 24 years ago as part of the GBC Leadership program; he offered to mentor me. While he first intimidated me with his focus on big systems and vision for Danaher, we quickly moved into ways to collectively impact our community. I left uplifted despite the vast challenges we talked about, and I started shifting my focus to systems thinking.
George oozed joy in every relationship and every time at a podium talking about why he felt the work Joe Jones or others were doing could be game changing. He bet on leaders, and he loved inspiring them.
My more recent memory was watching him beam with pride at Betsy in front of 1000 fundraising professionals as she accepted an award for their work in not only contributing financially, but for the way they thought about and acted on what mattered.
George's infectious smile, presence and pursuit of bigger change will live on in so many, as so many have shared so beautifully. ❤️

Urban Teachers Baltimore extends it's heartfelt condolences to the Sherman Family. George was such a generous, kind, thoughtful human being and he was a true proponent for teachers and students across Baltimore City! Whenever I had the pleasure of being in the company of George and Betsy, it was apparent they were more than benefactors, but deeply engaged with people and results as true community partners. George will be missed!

I will always miss George, his wisdom, his humor, and our conversations that started off as business and ended up about our families, I have 3 daughters, he has 4 sons, and our friendship of over 65 years! He just made you feel better! I am so thankful that Lorraine and I had the chance to see George just before he passed. It was a special moment for us to share our personal thoughts with George. Thank you, Betsy. I was particularly grateful to share with Matthew during our visit, some of the many stories with his dad from our high school days including an old wedding photo of George and I. I know that life goes on, but without George and Al, it just won't be the same. We were truly brothers! Memories and friendship forever!
Love, Govy

I have worked on Fisher Island For over 20 years now and every single time George walked into the class he would light up the room with his contagious smile and energy. It was clients like him that would push me to be a better instructor. What wonderful memories I have of him in the gym. You will be dearly missed!! So sorry for your loss, may your beautiful memories of George carry you through this difficult time. Holly
