There are many people who have an impact on our lives and at times, we may not even realize it. That is the case for many when it comes to the life of Richard Sherman.
Richard Sherman is known for producing some of the songs that we may sing regularly, either out loud or in our heads. Many of the songs were on films, such as Mary Poppins, so you can see how popular they are.
Unfortunately, Sherman passed away at the age of 95 recently. His death is been attributed to age-related disease and he died at Cedars-Sinai Professional Medical Center in Los Angeles. His death was announced by Disney.
He was married in 1957 to Elizabeth Gluck, and they have two children together. He also has a daughter from a previous relationship.
During the time that he was involved in his work, he managed to receive some Grammy awards along with two Oscars. In many cases, he would work along with his brother, Robert, and the mark that they left on the industry is something that is still known down to this day.
The CEO of Disney posted a tribute, saying: “Richard Sherman was the embodiment of what it suggests to be a Disney Legend, making beloved classics that have grow to be a cherished part of the soundtrack of our lives.
