Dennis Sherwin – Philanthropist, Godfather, Friend
On December 19, 2008, Dennis Sherwin died at the age of 71 at the Cleveland Clinic due to complications as a result of diabetes.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Dennis enjoyed the past 35 years of his life in Bermuda after taking residence on the island in 1974. Throughout his life, Dennis was involved in many charities focused on the environment and the arts.
Dennis will be greatly missed by family members and friends including: his two brothers, Peter and Brian Sherwin; godsons, Adam and David Outerbridge, and Jake Zalba; nephew, Tim Sherwin; and nieces, Halle Sherwin, Caroline Zaegel, Pam Zalba, and Marguerite Sherwin.
The family encourages a moment of silence and reflection on New Year’s Day to remember Dennis.
A celebration of Dennis’s life will be announced in due course.
Anyone wishing to make a donation in Dennis’s memory is invited to contribute to the Bermuda National Trust or the Bermuda National Gallery.
Stories, photos, and memories are invited to be shared online at the family blog: http://sherwin-halle.blogspot.com or please email postings to: HalleSherwin@gmail.com.
