Sherman Siers became an engineer after attending West
Virginia Tech. Then, in the early 1970's, moved into the new world of
computers by becoming a Computer Systems Analyst.
After contracting polio as child, Sherman surpassed his physical
limitations by becoming a 7-handicap golfer and even more amazingly a
catcher in local Softball leagues. In addition, he was a diabetic;
requiring insulin shots every day. Sherman never let on that he was any
different than the next guy. He had a quick mind, which he used to play
Bridge at almost a master's level.
Sherman died in 1976 from a heart attack at the age of 34. He
was survived by his wife, Janet, and three children, John (11), Aimee
(9) and Barbie (6)
