To Sterling Family,

I am saddened to hear of Sterling's passing but I know that he is in a happy place. I was in school with him  for 1966 and remember him as a warm and caring man and yet also as a really funny guy.  I hope that you can find comfort knowing the kind of person he was and every time you think of him you can smile that he was in your life
