SRA Ehren S. Sherow was an Air Force Reserve Helicopter Crew Chief assigned to the 943rd Maintenance Squadron, 943rd Rescue Group at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. He was a full-time student in his senior year, just weeks from graduating with his Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics from Embry Riddle University in Tucson, Arizona. |
| Ehren came into my life about 2 ½ years ago, when he joined the Reserves. He sought me out as his trainer and mentor, and our friendship blossomed from there, so much so that the last time I saw Ehren and Saundra prior to the accident our conversation subject was of me being part of their extended family and being “Grandpappy Chuck” to their children they plan to have in the near future.
Ehren Sherow was my Assistant Dedicated Crew Chief (ADCC) of my helicopter, HH-60G 90-26228 and a very close personal friend of mine. My helicopter is going to be dedicated to him, with either the name “Ehren’s Pride" or “The Spirit of Ehren”.
Ehren’s goal upon graduation was to become an Officer, and a helicopter pilot with our squadron.
Ehren’s wife, Saundra, just accepted a promotion as director of the Tucson chapter of Big Brothers, Big Sisters, where she has worked for several years.
I would consider Ehren, Saundra, and their parents the nicest, kindest, generous, and most wholesome family oriented people I’ve met. Ehren and Sandra’s parents even go on vacations together. (Chuck Ruth) |
