    Life is pretty cruel at times. He lost 1/3 of his life to cancer. Way way to young. Only 53 years old. RIP

    He truly seemed like a good guy. Very sad.

    I had almost forgotten about Cormier. He was a pretty good reliever who helped the Reds in 2006 when they made mini run at the playoffs. Just way too young to die. RIP Rheal Cormier.

    I remember Norm Sherry, and his brother and teammate, Larry from my earliest days of following baseball.

    Larry was a good reliever for the Dodgers as reflected in the linked article.

    Re: Some Obituaries of Recently Deceased Major Leaguers Part Two

    When I was 10 yo in Frankfurt, Germany, there was a baseball league for the troops. I would hang around their practices for the occasional ball or cracked bat. Larry Sherry was the catcher. He had a wide stance that would enable him to lift the ball right off the deck for a HR. Those days are among my fondest memories.

    RIP Norm.
