For 25 dedicated years, Sheldon worked at UMass Memorial Medical Center, where he was respected by colleagues and appreciated by many for his kindness, professionalism, and warm spirit.

Sheldon loved life and especially enjoyed traveling with family and friends. Some of his happiest memories were made during trips to Las Vegas, Cancún, Aruba, Fort Lauderdale, and the Dominican Republic.
