Such a senseless crime that took the life of an innocent human being. Although I did not know Sheldon, I want to express my deepest condolences to his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing.
Dear Miriam, Al and family,
Kenny and I were deeply saddened to learn of the untimely passing of your beloved brother Sheldon. We send you our most sincere condolences - may his memory always be for a blessing.
Love, Hope and Kenny
Dear Berman Family and Friends of Sheldon:
Even though I did not know Sheldon, I want to send my deepest and heartfelt condolences on the loss of this beautiful soul. May your cherished memories sustain you all at this devasting loss. May his memory be a blessing to you all.
This is terrible news. I met and worked with Sheldon when he first became acquainted with the group home network in the late 1970s. For the next 20+ years, would call me regularly to talk about sports and music until too many phone # changes caused us to lose touch. Despite his challenges, there was nothing wrong with his big heart and his gentle soul. Just a nice guy who deserved to have good things happen to him. To hear that a total stranger could have caused his demise makes this even worse. My condolences to Sheldon's entire family.
Dear Alan. I am just seeing this very sad news about Sheldon. I remember him so well and always thought of how wonderful a person he was. My heart goes out to you and Miriam and may Sheldon’s memory be a blessing. Fondly Marla Pomerantz Miller
I did not know Sheldon or his family but the grief that I am feeling right now in knowing the circumstances of his death, which cut too short the life of a kind and innocent man, could hardly be more profound if I had known Sheldon my whole life. I am a stranger, but grieve with Sheldon's survivors in spirit as a fellow member of the Jewish community in Toronto, whose pain from this tragic loss is especially keen. May the outpouring of care from friends and loved ones bring you strength at this peculiarly difficult time.
Please kindly accept my most sincerest condolences on your precious loss. It was needless. It was heinous and I often wonder why cruel adult human beings can be so damn cruel. Of what I read, Sheldon did not deserve to be met by such a cruel horrific person. May Sheldon now rest in Gan Eden and in peace.
The name sounds familiar. How old was he? What happened to him? I heard nothing on the news about his demise? We may have gone to school together. Please tell me what happened.
I am soo sorry to hear of this tragic death of Sheldon Berman.
I did not not know Sheldon personally but I feel soo much pain in knowing what he had to endure during this horrendous attack.
He did not deserve this.
May he Rest In Peace.
I am thinking of you Al and Miriam during this painful time .Your friend Roshelle
The passing of Sheldon was so tragically unnecessary. I grieve for the loss of a gentle soul who would never have hurt a fly. My condolences to Al and Miriam. May his dear soul Rest In Peace.
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Sheldon. I will always remember him as a kind and gentle person, with a great sense of humour. My complete lack of knowledge about sports would always make him laugh, which made me laugh, a lot. May Sheldon’s memory be a blessing. Heartfelt sympathies to you. Take care of your grieving hearts. Janet
Dear family of Sheldon: I remember a Shelley Berman from my youth and wonder also if it is the same person. I also don't know the circumstances of his death but from reading these messages understand it was horrific. May Sheldon's legacy be of strength and comfort to you all. May his memory be for a blessing. Mushy (Silver) Zionce
I am so sorry for your loss and horrified that this happened to Sheldon. He really was a gentle soul. I’m a neighbour of his on Sheridan Street and met him first when he popped by a yard sale I was having and again another time I was sorting clothes for a clothing drive. He offered to help and told me he wanted to job. It was something he would mention occasionally when I’d stop to say hi to him on the street. I learned even more about your brother from the memories you have shared about him in the paper. May his memory be blessing.
We are so very sorry to hear about Sheldon’s passing and that we never got to meet him.
We hope he is in a better place. Condolences to Alan and Miriam at this difficult time.
David Grossman and Debbie Rudolph
