Walter Herbert “Mike” Sheridan (25 Nov 1921 – 6 Jul 2002)
Mike Sheridan was born in Toronto in 1921. With the tragic illness of his father, Mike moved with his mother to live with his grandparents in Port Perry where grew up and attended school.
Mike Sheridan enlisted in the Canadian Army on April 30, 1941. He was deployed in France, Holland, England, Germany and Belgium.
After being discharged on January 10, 1946, Mike enrolled in Pharmacy College at the University of Toronto. Following graduation, he worked in several Toronto area pharmacies, eventually purchasing his own store on Eglinton Avenue. While in Toronto, Mike served as President of the 30th Light Anti-aircraft (LAA) Veterans Association and was a member of the Forest Hill Rotary Club.
Anxious to return to his rural roots in Ontario County, Mike purchased the former Bagg Hardware store in Sunderland in 1974 and transformed it into Sheridan Pharmacy. His business thrived and Mike quickly became absorbed in community life. He and his wife, Lola were very active members of the Sunderland United Church. Mike joined the Sunderland Lions Club and Branch 141 Royal Canadian Legion. While a member of the Legion, Mike held the President and Poppy Chairman positions.
