Bert W. Sherman passed away July 29, 2024, after losing his battle with cancer. Born in Denver, Colo., Sept. 9, 1937, he moved to Santa Barbara as a baby where he spent his youth and teen years. A retired pool builder in the greater Fresno area, Bert was a member of the Corvettes of Fresno for many years. He is survived by his three children, Kimberly Sherman-Bianco, Bert Sherman Jr., and Dr. Bret Sherman, and grandchildren, John Bianco Jr., and Madison Sherman. El Magnifico, as he was often called, will be missed for all his famous “Bert Jokes.”
