I'm so sorry for your loss. I only knew Sterling for a short time, but I knew immediately that he was an extremely kind and helpful man and neighbor. Everytime I saw him he always had a smile and kind words. 

I just learned of his passing. I knew something had to be wrong when I never saw him out in the yard, but I never imagined he had passed. I just called the Bar X office and they informed me of his passing. 

Again, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Sterling was a wonderful man and neighbor, he will be missed a great deal. If there is anyway I can be of assistance please feel free to contact me. I'm right accross the street. 

We are very sorry for your loss.   Sterling has been a great neighbor out at his rancho in Camp Wood, Texas.   A very nice man who loved the outdoors.   He will be missed.

My sincere condolences for your loss. I worked with Sterling at Unit 3  during my early years as an engineer at Dow.  He was a great co-worker.  

Dearest daughters and family, 

I was so saddened to hear of Sterling's passing.   I  went to Bay
City high school with him.   I knew his mother.   He was an amazing gentleman.   I have some wonderful memories of Sterling.
RIP,  God has another ANGEL watching over you all.  My prayers go out to you for strength and FAITH. 

My sincere condolences to the Johnson Family.  I grew up down the street from Sterling.  His mother was my 4th grade teacher.  Sterling and I lived together in Baytown and Lake Jackson in the 70's. After all these years Sterling reached out to me recently to take a road trip to Campwood but I could not get away. Thanks for posting all the pictures,  looks like he raised a wonderful family.  I pray God will comfort you and heal your hearts.
RIP " Downhog"

I have been blessed to know Sterling since the age of 16.  He was genuine and sincere  his whole life. The world needs many more people like Sterling.  A true friend and a good man. He will be missed by all who knew him. Can't wait to see him again, forever......

I worked indirectly with Sterling at Brazosport College. He had a great sense of humor and was fun to share an office with. I will miss seeing him there.  My prayers for the family at this sad time.

I worked with Sterl for several years at Dow in the 90s.  I was a stressed young engineer trying to find my way at Dow and Sterling was a good friend that always had a smile, a laugh and words of encouragement to make any situation seem less stressful.  He used to call me “Darrell, and my other Brother Darrell” (from a comedy in the 80s) and crack a smile when he said it, I’d roll my eyes but it made me smile too.  Sterling is truly one of the kindest people I’ve met in my life and I am so sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with you all.

After our kids married, Sterling and I went hunting together often in Centerville.  He had a certain zeal which led to many interesting stories about our hunts together.

We now share three fantastic grandchildren.

I was a coworker of Sterl’s for 12 years at Unit 3. I have very fond memories of this time. We were family, of sorts. Very good times. He was a good friend and will be sorely missed. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
