Farewell Bobby Sherman

While sitting here at my work computer, creating social media memes and promoting upcoming presentations on Medicare, aging, and retirement, I saw it.

A headline with the name Bobby Sherman popped up into my phone notifications. Sensing what it was, I couldn’t stop myself from saying out loud to the dog and the garden creatures, “Oh no!”

There are people, events, songs, and trends that connect us to our childhoods like no other, and for me, Bobby Sherman is and was one of them. I’m sharing this today because I think as we age, loss becomes more frequent whether it is family members, friends, old acquaintances and even celebrities and/or people whose contributions to our culture impacted our life and our life experience. These people helped in some way to impact who we have become. Remember these people can also bring us together and keep us connected to others.
