Sherald loved trains, airplanes and telling anyone that would listen about our Nations Space Program. He also loved to take all the kids camping and hunt for beautiful rocks and gems. He was a man that could fix anything, even if it had to be with wire and duct tape. Before he became ill, he loved to work in the yard, he could grow the most beautiful flowers, and he supplied everyone on the block with raspberries growing all over his yard. As a young man, he played drums in a dance band with his brother Duard.
He worked at Boeing Aircraft and as a drafter for Thiokol. After the space program ended, his next dream was to drive an 18 wheeler. He finished his working career driving long haul around the United States.
He was a member of the Utah National Guard.
Our sweet and gentle grandpa will be missed.
