Kevin Donovan discusses the Sherman family’s succession battle

[@rogerp6903]

I met Barry several times back in the late 80's doing work in his offices and boardroom and he would always take time to chat and keen on what everyone's job was no matter what their position. A nice man gone.RIP Barry and Bunny

Thank you for keeping this story alive. It is an important one. Barry and Honey deserve nothing less.

[@yellingelk]

What about how Barry Sherman took over his mentor uncle's business, and then left his children out of their rightful inheritance? Wonderful guy! Wonderful people the Sherman's were. And as for their 'supposed philanthropy'.. yeah right.. multi-billionaires don't involve themselves in philanthropy.. they involve themselves in 'shuffling money about' in order to avoid taxes. * See 'Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation' for details.

[@joananne7802]

@@yellingelk The court already looked at that case and said there was no merit to it. Regardless, nothing warrants being murdered and nothing warrants not solving the murders. I believe this will be solved.

[@allytrudie864]

People are murdered in Canada everyday and we don’t even hear about it and there is no media push for the suffering families. Please tell me why you think these 2 deserve so much more attention that the many people we don’t know about that will be murdered today? In some ways I think it’s fair if their murderers are never found because most peoples aren’t 🤷🏼‍♀️ lots of tax dollars going towards this murder over someone murdered in Toronto who is middle class. Let’s see the police cost for this murder investigation over a middle class persons murder case- I think that would be eye opening.

Barry and honey deserve what all Canadians get yet somehow they sure are getting more even in death 🤷🏼‍♀️

Jonathan fires his father's best friend. Then throws his aunt out of her storage locker. His own sister doesn't trust him. This smells bad 🤔

[@lmn1966]

He dismissed alot of people! After losing a 500m lawsuit. He let employees go after 30 years. He's sold Apotex to 15 other companies to get money. And he's still selling... something's not right.

[@joralemonvirgincreche]

I don't understand how Jonathan could remove a trustee. The trustees were designated by Barry in his will. I get that Jonathan could fire Jack Kay from Apotek, but firing him as a trustee is entirely different and I thought only a court could do that.

[@ArohaStill]

He didn't remove him as a trustee. Jack Kay stopped attending trustee meetings of his own volition but he did fire him as CEO of Apotex and walked him out of the office like he was someone who stole office secrets instead of a loyal employee and his father's best friend who built the company alongside his father.

[@ilanamillion8942]

It sounds like Alexandra should be in charge of the charitable works because she knows what her parents would want and what they considered to be important. Jonathan sounds like a jerk really.

[@lovelylu100]

If Jonathan is the heir apparent, then he would have the most to gain from his parents' murders. Even his eulogy speech was strange, and then his emails in the last year of Barry's life are concerning. Good questions and discussion by the Toronto Star!

Jonathan Sherman (son of Barry and Honey Sherman) and Jonathan's business partner had interest free loans from Barry Sherman of $50 million and $60 million respectively. This is significant money. Barry Sherman 2 weeks before he was murdered requested that Jonathan and his business partner repay both interest free loans. The murderers knew the house and had easy access to the house. The oldest sister Alexandra of Barry Sherman is longer talking to Jonathan. What happened to the loans and repayment when Barry and Honey were murdered. Destroying the house where there could be still be evidence seems suspect. Will justice be served or will political influences prevent justice? Always follow the money. Seems obvious...hard to prove.

[@rediviva]

@Blue Bird Again, ​ what is the point of even writing those ridiculous words, three times no less? Idiocy. Get yourself back to a reality-based world, please.

[@lmn1966]

Those loans were never paid back! Sibling revivals between Alex and Jonathan due to Barry changed his will and made Jonathan the Heir. Removed the daughters from Heir. But still have make decisions with Jonathan. He can't just decide. There was a proposal to open Gyms up. Alex said no and didn't go through. The other daughter just follows Alex. She doesn't give a crap what goes on. Jonathan does have Behavior issues. always had...its in the family. But please understand the heritage of this family is Jewish decent. No money's go to the wife's or the daughters. All to the Father's and son's. That's why Honey's sister's house is paid for through Barry. Now she has been ditched by Sherman's family and all money has been cut off...by Jonathan. I believe that she and Barry was having an affair? They were so close. I have my theories and suspicions. Still researching!

[@lmn1966]

There's another investigation as the "Urban Explorer" went in the house the day before the demolition. He saw evidence. Paper's all over the place. Took pictures. Saw a box full of narcotics/ prescriptions with Honey's name Apotex name. He went to the pool. Heard a noise scared the crap out of him. Took more pictures and posted them on his blog. He said the Police didn't do a thorough investigation. Its shut down. He got charged. What an idiot... (Edited for grammar)

Pretty sure when you loan your kids money interest free you dont expect to get it back anytime soon. Especially when ypur a multibillionaire. Loan schmoan. Is more like a gift id bet. With a promise to payback that never is asked for.

It appears that the Sherman’s were loyal to their immediate family and were relatively generous to them. Seeing they were seniors they would have been gone in future years. If it were a family member then why the rush if not for evil nature? Who is the most to win? Are they evil as well?

How can Barry Sherman be so fabulous when he lied to his Uncle Lou’s request to take care of his children if any thing happened to him Sure enough the Winter children were orphaned at very young ages of both parents. They were belittled sued and stripped of their inheritance Greed

[@tothelighthouse9843]

Lmao that's not how it went down. The Winter children/boys were born into wealth, & when their parents died the boys were adopted by another wealthy family. They were rich trust fund babies. Additionally, Barry BOUGHT Lou's company, he didn't steal it. Lou's family were paid in full, & the boys were well taken care of. When the Winter boys came into their trusts, they spent that money like water. Spent it on drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs & drugs. Spent frivolously, stupidly, & then came with their hands out to Barry. Who loaned/gave them millions, set them up in business, bought them homes etc. The boys weren't happy with that. They sued Barry for millions--a lawsuit which was dismissed by the judge as 'wishful thinking'. This exact situation is the reason people say DON'T LOAN PPL MONEY. The person who borrowed the money eventually feels entitled to it, resents having to pay it back, & resents the person who lent them money (& helped them out!). Terry hated Barry because he owed Barry money & didn't want to pay him back. Terry then concocted the 'stole from poor orphans' story to justify his anger & justify not paying Barry back. And THEN he had the nerve to go to Barry's kids after the murders & demand a settlement payment from them.

[@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available]

I tend to believe Alexandra Sherman's allegations about her brother's involvement in their parents' murder. In addition to his bizzare behaviour both prior and subsequent to the murders, she must also be privy to some information which has not been publicly disclosed. If Johnathon truly is somehow responsible, then him agreeing to the interview with a Toronto Star reporter is completely crazy and shows a level of delusion.

It wouldn't be the first time a suspect agrees to a interview. Crazy to us but to them they figure they can BS there way out of everything
