Herrold, John Munro, Age 65 of Sherborn died Saturday, August 26, 2017 from injuries sustained in a bicycling accident. He lives on through the lives he saved as an organ donor.
Born in Syracuse, NY, to the late Charles and Caroline (Munro) Herrold and Sherborn resident for 31 years. A lifelong athlete, John played high school and college football, basketball, and baseball with aggressive panache. He fell in love with cycling and walking in the Sherborn woods with his dog.
Loved music from Beethoven and Mozart to his halcyon Beatles days to the loudest possible hard rock of Black Sabbath and Metallica. Action and sci-fi movies but also The Little Mermaid. An avid fan of professional sports, he never lost his passion for the Syracuse Orange. Loving, firm but kind, thoughtful, funny, sarcastic, and meticulous, even when cooking Sunday morning pancakes for his family, always making sure there was one for his dog.
Survived by his wife of 33 years, Jacqueline (Miller), 2 sons Matthew of Acton and Timothy and wife Leah Folta of West Hollywood, CA, brother Chuck and husband Bill Moore of Pittsburgh, brother Peter, wife Paula Tomko and nephews Andrew and Ethan of Lakewood, CO, sister-in-law JoAnn Miller of Westport, CT, and ever faithful golden retriever, The Mighty Chewbacca.
Graduate of Hobart College and received his MBA at University of Rochester. Worked his entire adult life in the computer software industry, and retired this year after many years as a project manager for Microsoft.
Visiting hours are Friday, September 8 from 4-7 PM at the John Everett & Sons Funeral Home, 4 Park St. at Natick Common. A service in celebration of John's life is Saturday, September 9 at 10 AM, Pilgrim Church, 25 S. Main St. Sherborn.
