| | | Sherm hosted a live radio talk show on my family’s radio station in Boston. Sherm also set up his office with us, and was a bigger distraction in an office than anyone could possibly image. He would talk so loudly on his phone, his hear aid was always sending a piercing pitch, and I don’t want to go into the bathroom stories... He was the proverbial “bull in the china store” but everyone loved this bull! Sherm was born with a special charm. Sherm’s radio show was only aired over the summer months. He would signoff in the fall and come back in the spring with “As I was saying…” Sherm would interview priests, poets and politicians, and sometimes all at the same time. Sherm's radio show was like an open house holiday party and he never knew who was coning in or what he was going to talk about until the mic was turned on. Sherm had Orville Redenbacher in the studio popping popcorn. He must have put 10 pounds of kernels in a popping machine and filled the entire studio with popcorn. He had Lassie come in and actually interviewed the dog, not the trainer. To this day better radio has not been produced.
Sherm was also my friend. He was there when I graduated school, got married, had children and when my wife was sick, he would visit with food and gifts… all of it stolen. Sherm would take corn from a street vendor and give the guy a Ted Williams baseball in return. It was Sherm’s autograph, not Ted’s but that did matter. He traded more than an Indian Chief. But, his lust for life was so genuine, so real, that you would give him what you had to him anyway. Sherm worn a cross and the Star of David, he would say, “ I want to cover all bases” Sherm was everyone’s friend.
