Judge Sherrill frightened many a young attorney back in the day, but I started recognizing that sparkle in his eye and barely visible smirk; even at his most frustrated. Thank you for sharing him with us-- I am glad I was able to share the law with him.

Janet, I am very sorry for your loss. So many happy memories of time with you and Rusty at the beach and on various sailing adventures. He was a wonderful friend -- someone you could trust and talk with about anything, one of the most caring, thoughtful and gentle people I've had the pleasure to know. I can hear that chuckle like it was yesterday. Seeing him fall in love with you and how he continued to cherish you still fills my heart. Lisa (West) Frazier

I am so sorry for your Loss. I worked with Judge Sherrill at the Wake County Courthouse. He was very stern in his courtroom but I loved working with him.

Dear Janet:
Reid and I were very sorry to hear of Rusty's recent passing. We always looked forward to seeing you both in "our" church pews at Edenton Street - Rusty with his sweet smile and you with your warm and engaging personality (and often hearing about the most recent travel experience). I know these last years have been very difficult, and I pray you have felt and will continue to feel the Lord's close presence and love for you. We miss you and send our prayers to you this day.

I can still see him riding up on his Tiger Cub and sacking out in my back bedroom on Goldson Avenue in Carrboro during law school. As years passed, I spent many nights as their guest on McDonald Lane following wonderful meals shared wiith Rusty and Janet at Piccolo Mondo. He was truly one of a kind in the best of ways, and I treasure our friendship.
Mike Flanagan.

From my law school roommate to my fellow Chief District Judge, Rusty Sherrill was a good and great man. It took a little while to understand the greatness, but the goodness was always there.
Rest in Peace, dear brother.

Rusty was a lovely, kind, funny, gentle and precious person whose footprint is left far and wide with the multitude of lives he touch and enriched. The world and our lives are richer by far for knowing him. He deeply loved his dear wife, Janet, and his many friends to whom he was a true friend indeed. His passing leaves a void in the world and our hearts. Deepest condolences to Janet and his family.

Rusty was a wonderful friend and a delightful and skilled shipmate with whom we shared nearly twenty years of offshore sailing experiences. He was an authentic Renaissance man who helped make this world a better place.
