Sherm graduated from Cloquet High School in 1965 and attended UMD.  He served in the Army National Guard and worked at Conwed/USG in Cloquet for more than 40 years, retiring in 2009.

Sherm loved the outdoors and his interests and hobbies included fishing, hunting, golf, photography, camping, and spending time with his family and friends.

Sherm loved his Lord and was always excited to study God’s Word.  He graduated from Faith Bible Institute after completing a three year course of study.  He was in the very first Faith Bible Institute graduating class at Grace Church.  Sherm loved his Grace Church family and always looked for ways to serve.  At the time of his death he was a deacon and he was formerly a trustee for many years.
