Sherman and Marilyn retired to Albuquerque in 1988 so they could travel, and enjoy spending time with family and friends. Sherman was a wonderful, beloved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Truly the rock of our family, his calm and patient manner, his wisdom and warmth, and wry sense of humor were admired by all who knew him. He was always there for all of us. Family was everything to him. As an avid photographer, we were his favorite subjects, as-well-as the New Mexico landscape he so loved. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn, of 57 years; sons, Jeffrey and wife, Sally, Doug and wife, Barb, and daughter, Peggy and husband, David Stroik; grandchildren, Moshe and Cara Sweet, Rivka and Joel Fixler, Aliza, David, Yosef, Brian and Lauren Sweet, Harry and Maddie Stroik; great-grandchildren, Rena and Dovid Sweet; his siblings, Lorraine Borsuk and husband, Jerry, Pesh Siegman and husband, Ronnie; sisters-in-law, Sylvia and Shirley Sweet; brother-in-law, Irv Pittleman and wife, June; and numerous nieces and nephews.
