John Sherbino | Nov 09, 2022
My Dad, James Verneard Sherbino died in 2005 in his 93rd year. He was a normal guy of his era. He went to war, came back and didn’t say anything about it except to tell real funny stories about the silly things he and his pals did. When I asked him about the reality of it all he went for the light side.
Until that is, I asked him about Holland. He and other Canadians had preceded ‘D Day’, and had as he said, ‘fun’ with soldiering in England, and had fought across the mess of Italy, fought topography in France and then Germany, but he broke into tears at the mention of Holland and what he saw. I miss him all the time and we are lucky that he and his peers were there for us.
