He was an avid downhill skier and especially enjoyed his ski trips to Canada and Austria. He was a dedicated Mason, and member of the Kora Shriners. He was also a member of the local DAV. Following his military service, Sheridan worked at the Caribou One Stop for 22 years. He loved this work and being able to meet new people and old friends. He was always a jokester.
