from Northwestern High School in 1978. Sheldon married Ann Martin on October 9, 1982. He worked at 3M in Aberdeen for 34 years. He took great pride in his ability to mechanically fix the machines at 3M. Through his years of employment he touched many people with his great sense of humor and keen sense. He had a way about him that made people laugh, whether it was a good joke, or a simple wave.
• Besides the love for his family, Sheldon loved dirt track racing. He competed for 17 years at the Brown County Speedway where he raced in the street stock and super stock divisions. In 2003, he retired from racing to become the crew chief as his son, Brad, took the wheel of racing. The last two years he played double duty crew chief as his new son-in-law, Tony, also races! This sport was the love of his life, and you'd find Sheldon with his family at a race track every weekend during the summer months. He called these racing trips his family vacations because his family was always together at the various tracks. Through this, he has been enriched with many friends from the racing community.
• On October 22, 2012, the new love of his life was born. His new Granddaughter, Raelee. She was the apple of his eye and she truly helped him the last 3 weeks of his life. She was a true blessing for him.
