Sad news this morning. Oscar winning song writer Robert Sherman passed away March 5th in London. He and his brother Richard, together known as the Sherman brothers, wrote so many of my favorite Disney songs including “It’s a Small World” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. Few details are known at this time but the news of his death was posted by his son on Facebook.
Robert Sherman’s son Jeff posted the following statement:
Hello to family and friends,
I have very sad news to convey.
My Dad, Robert B. Sherman, passed away tonight in London. He went peacefully after months of truly valiantly fending off death. He loved life and his dear heart finally slowed to a stop when he could fight no more.
I will write more about this incredible man I love and admire so much when I am better rested and composed. He deserves that.
In the meantime, please say a prayer for him. As he said, he wanted to bring happiness to the world and, unquestionably, he succeeded. His love and his prayers, his philosophy and his poetry will live on forever. Forever his songs and his genius will bring hope, joy and love to this small, small world.
I love you, Dad.
Safe travels.
Love,
Jeff
