Polson Seniors: Center mourns passing of Dave Sherick

The Polson Senior Center is deeply saddened by the passing July 8 of Dave Sherick. He was an active member of our organization. He served for  numerous  years  as president and past president and was a regular customer for lunch and the afternoon coffee club.  

His knowledge of the history of Polson was always appreciated. We will miss him.
