Paul Sherlock - links

As I was checking for family information yesterday, I did happen to find a couple of postings on Paul Sherlock's passing in 2004.

The Boston Globe had this:

The Warwick Beacon had this:

And finally, the RI Senate passed the following resolution recognizing Paul's accomplishments and extending condolences to his family:

Paul V Sherlock Center

Jerry's brother Paul was a long time RI State Senator and an educator at RI College. His work at RIC was recognized with a building dedicated in his name. Jerry took pictures with Helen and Albert at the building on the RIC campus earlier this year. Helen and Jerry:

The Sherlock men

For at least one family gathering, the men sat around the kitchen table. In order left to right are Henry, Paul, Ted,  Paul Brousseau (married to Angela), Vin Campbell (married to Fran), Dad Sherlock, and Jerry.

Maybe later the same day, this time along a couch: Dad Sherlock, Paul B, Paul, and Ted

How is it the same day? Dad Sherlock has the same time, Paul has the same suit/tie combo. Paul B took off his tie, and so has Ted. Both were known to like to relax that way.

Paul

How close alike did the Sherlock men look? Close enough that Jerry had identified the man in the center of this photo as himself. Yet, upon further review, other family members are agreeing it is Jerry's brother Paul posing with their father and mother.

Clues to how this was really determined? The uniform cap was Army not Marine. Paul was in the Army, Jerry in the Marines.

The building behind is apparently named the Fort Devens Elementary School. Family members agree that Mr and Mrs Sherlock did visit Paul up at Fort Devens before he was sent overseas to Paris.
