I was around Burt for 7 years, 5 days a week in the mid 90s. His impact on me was enormous.  I think of Burt a lot  He was a very important mentor in my professional and personal growth. He made me better, wiser and calmer lol.  I pass on his pearls of wisdom and humor to those who looked to me for similar guidance, including my own son. The blessing I received the day I met Burt will live on for me even after I leave this earth. Rest in peace, Burt and thank you.

So very sorry Adam and family. I only heard this very sad news today.  May God hold him in His arms.

Michele Zaccone and family

People like Burt only come once in a lifetime.

May you be with God and all his glory.
Miss you Burt, people like you only come once in a lifetime.

I am so sorry to Burt's family for his loss. He hired me back in 1991. Working for him was awesome. May he rest in peace.

A brief but very enjoyable encounter with Burt.  His hospitality and obvious business experience will be sorely missed.  Heartfelt prayers to the family during these times.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Burt Scherman. I worked with Burt at ECI; He gave me my first big chance in the printing industry. Burt was a great boss and mentor. He always had time to work on a problem and encouraged creative thinking. My favorite phrase whenever he walked into a room was " DO SOMETHING"!  He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the Scherman family. I worked for Burt for a number of years back in the 1990's. I found him to be a fair and reasonable boss, but more importantly, he was a good man with a great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during this time of sorrow. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to the Family of Burt Scherman. Burt and I have known each other for many years.  I always enjoyed our conversations. He was a fine man and will be missed.

After working with you for so many years and in four different companies I can't believe you are gone. May you rest in peace.

To The Scherman Family,

My heartfelt sorrow and sympathy extended to your family and loved ones in this most precious and unforgettable moment.  As a giant among men, we will miss Burt forever.

Greg George

I will miss you very much and all the horse talk and fun we always had
rest in peace till we meet again

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.  Burt was a dear friend, leader and mentor.  When I first moved to New Jersey, being in a new environment, Burt helped me to get acclimated to the community and always treated me like family. We had many great times and many memories that will always be cherished.  
What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us. -Helen Keller

The ironies of life... My partner Burt Scherman on my book from "From Dust Til Dawn" has passed away from melanoma with out him there would be NO
book...
We were so proud to have our book in "The September 11th Museum" as a tool to help maintain the museum costs
   Burt was a tough cookie
And we often fought but we got things done...
  RIP Burt 1957-2016
My condolences to his wife Deborah and his daughters Carissa and Janelle and the whole family...

I express my condolences to the Scherman family
I met Burt almost 30 years ago,
And he was part of my journey that will live with me till I see him again

Debbie & Family   I'm very sorry for your loss, had a lot of fun times with Burt when we were teenagers. He was a very good man.

I grew up with the Scherman family.  Linda was my best friend and I loved it when her big brother Burt would let us hang out with him and his friends.  He was always so nice and such fun, and there is no other word that describes him better, he was just cool.  I will never forget those wonderful memories and his big smile and my heart goes out to his entire family and all that loved him.

My deepest condolences to Debbie and her family in this time of sadness.I will always remember Burt with that great smile.My heart goes out to his family. Forever in our hearts!

Only met Burt a few times, but I know How crazy Linda was for her brother.

First I would like to express my deepest condolences to Debbie and the rest of the Scherman family.... Burt was more then a cousin to me. He was my mentor, my boss, and my friend. His personality was larger then life. He always knew just what to say and had one of the best sense of humors I've ever had the pleasure of being around. I will always remember him, keep him in my heart, and miss him dearly.

What a beautiful video, what beautiful photos, and what a beautiful family. How fortunate I am to have known you all for so many years. What a proud legacy Burt has left behind. He was one of a kind. Cheers to you Burt .....

Debbie...I met Burt a few years ago thru business and he was a very special guy to many....so sad to hear of his passing and your families loss. 
God Bless and I will keep you in our prayers. Ray Romano

Burt was the nicest, funniest person I ever had the privilege of knowing.  We were childhood neighbors, classmates and most important friends.  I remember he and his dad being so close and I'm sure their reunion was special.  Although his physical presence is no longer here, his spirit will always live in the hearts of all who knew him.  I'm sure Jesus welcomed him with open arms and he and his father are entertaining the Angels in heaven.  My deepest condolences to the entire Scherman family on such a tragic loss.  Rest in Peace, my friend.

Sending my heartfelt condolences.  Burt and I went to high school together and I remember him as a fun-loving, intelligent and upstanding guy.  While our paths haven't crossed in many years I never forgot him and hope you find comfort in knowing he touched many lives for the better.  May he rest in peace.

God Bless Burt! So sorry for your loss Debbie, Adam, Carissa, and Janelle.Burt was one of a kind-always laughing and joking. The world will not be the same without him.    Deeni Saltarelli

I only knew Burt for a very short time - perhaps four years. He was a wonderful fellow -  a delight to work with and fast became a dear and treasured friend.

He will be missed - truly. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the Scherman family. Rest in Peace my brother. Thanks for the memories.

I am very sorry to hear about Burt's passing. He was in my class in Immaculate Conception Grammer School and St.Mary's High School.  He was an awesome classmate and a very nice person. I will never forget you!  May you rest in peace my friend............Janice Reguero (Sanibel,Florida)

So sad to hear of the passing of Burt.  He was such a big hearted guy.  Always with a positive outlook.  I enjoyed working with him for many years.  As part of the team going all the way back to the ECI days, when i moved out of the area Burt told me i would always have a job waiting for me if ever wanted it.  He was that kind of guy.  I will never forget that generosity.  He will be missed.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his loved ones and his family.

Very sad news to hear. An old friend and the nephew of an old friend; both of whom I think of often. Burt was a true sage, with great wisdom, humor and passion. May all who write their thoughts here, celebrate his life.

I am very sad to hear about Burt. I had the pleasure of working for Burt during the ECI days in Edgewater. He was smart, funny creative, and a great leader. He was always supportive of me personally and I really enjoyed working for him. Burt will be missed. My Prayers are with the family.

I was sadden to hear of the passing of Burt. I've have known him for about 20 years. He was a great person and a dear friend. He will be truly missed not only by me but by all of  his many friends!  My love and condolences goes out to his family. With my deepest sympathy, JoAnn Matranga
