Matt Sherman ’12 passed away in Waltham, MA, on January 13, 2016. He was born in Manchester on August 4, 1993, the son of Richard ’82 and Dorothy “Dot” (Cameron) Sherman. After graduating from Derryfield in 2012, he went on to University of Tampa and transferred to Brandeis University, where he was a senior. Matt was a very creative soul. He was a talented writer and hoped to pursue a career in writing or music production. He liked to explore the meaning of lyrics in an effort to understand the world around him and the struggles of others. Matt was a movie aficionado/film critic who enjoyed all genres of film, but especially anything superhero-related. Matt was a true and loyal friend to all those he cared about, always putting others before himself. He cherished time spent with friends and looked forward to their traditions of camping, hiking, and bonfires. Matt enjoyed time with family, whether it was fishing and boating on Cape Cod, binge watching a new TV series he’d discovered, or sampling his brother’s baking. All those who loved him miss him.

They enjoyed travelling together, and the places that they visited include Bali, the Galapagos, Machu Picchu, Iceland, Angkor Wat, Istanbul, and Egypt. Their adorable daughter, Katherine (Kate), was born in November of 2014. Her irrepressible smile, intelligence, great curiosity and boundless energy are a reflection of just some of the fine qualities that Greg and Erica shared.

Casey Bonus April 14, 1978–March 6, 2016 His sister, Kelly shares, “Casey was a larger than life guy. I think a planet is the perfect metaphor for Casey; we always joked that he was on Planet Casey. He had gravity that pulled you in, whether you liked it or not. He had an abundance of life and spirit that was equal parts harmonious and contradictory. He had an atmosphere that protected you and made you happy and alive. He had such a strong will and independence that was his orbit—you could never snap him out of it, it was just too strong. There was sunshine and plenty of it, but there were also storms, and desert and endless water. There were lakes, mountains, friends, and family. It was Casey’s world, and those of us that knew him we were just lucky enough to visit for a while.” He was a Derryfield student in the 7th grade, graduated from Masconomet High School in Boxford, MA ’96 and St. Lawrence University ’01. He was passionate about the outdoors, skiing, fishing, bosting, swimming, grilling, ice cream, Wyoming, his neighborhood of Southie, and his friends. He leaves behind his mother, Cheryl Bonus Travers; brother Brady Bonus ’90, sister Kelli B. Gribbel ’87, three nephews, Hayden Gribbel, Alan Bonus, and Bailey Bonus; a niece, Lily Gribbel, his girlfriend Emily Radomile, his beloved dog, Cleo; and hundreds of friends.
