Hello to family and friends,

I have very sad news to convey.

My Dad, Robert B. Sherman, passed away tonight in London. He went peacefully after months of truly valiantly fending off death. He loved life and his dear heart finally slowed to a stop when he could fight no more.

I will write more about this incredible man I love and admire so much when I am better rested and composed. He deserves that.

In the meantime, please say a prayer for him. As he said, he wanted to bring happiness to the world and, unquestionably, he succeeded. His love and his prayers, his philosophy and his poetry will live on forever. Forever his songs and his genius will bring hope, joy and love to this small, small world.

I love you, Dad.

Safe travels.

Love,

Jeff

The songs bring tears to my eyes........

Just thinking of Chim Chim Cheree brings tears of joy to my 57 year old eyes. Almost ever tune and lyric is instantly recognizable and ultimately memorable. This morning I got out my copy of Mary Poppins and choose the "play all songs" option and cried my eyes out. Mr,. Sherman was at the very top of his field and created lasting works of beauty that will live on for as long as our civilization lasts.
You may be gone physically, but your soul as expressed in your songs shall live on for as long as people appreciate and love beautiful heartfelt music.

The Music Will Live On

My husband and I happened to see the film on the Sherman Brothers on the Documentary Channel. We knew nothing about them before that, but loved them and their story... and watch every time it comes on (and cry every time, too). Their sons did a fabulous job of making this story, with love.

We appreciate their super talents and the music legacy they have left for the world. I pray that Robert is now reunited with his beautiful wife and parents.

The most beautiful music

My first movie my parents took me to was Marry Poppins. The music and scenery were magical. I remember sitting in the theater and crying to Feed the Birds as it connected me with the suffering of the elderly and compassion. To this day at age 52 and a grown man I still choke up. It reminds me not everyone has the life I have and that we can all find beauty in nature. So much music and such wonderful stories. Thank you sir for all the joy and beauty you've given.

Thank You So Much!

Little Nemo, Mary Poppins, Sword in the Stone are one of the many few movies I grew up only to remember the iconic songs of the talented Sherman Brother everytime when I step into the Magic Kingdom I hear the joyous sounds of their music playing, when I'm sad I always tend to sing about "Hushabye Mountain" or to remind myself that I could in a world filled with "Fun and laughter". I know alot of legends have to come and go but never in my life I would have one of them would leave in my time. Robert Sherman your music will forever capture the eyes of our imagination we'll forever miss you.
