Coast Guard honors Roanoke father and son for overboard boater rescue at sea
Andrew Sherman and his son Jack rescued Sascha Scheller after Scheller fell overboard while fishing alone as his boat drove away
Family who rescued boater honored by Coast Guard
ROANOKE, Va. – The Coast Guard has honored a Roanoke father and son for their heroic actions. Two weeks ago, a North Carolina man fell off his boat with no life jacket and the boat kept going with no one on it.
For Andrew Sherman and his son Jack, life is back to normal. Jack has returned to the Naval academy after spending some time at the family beach house in North Carolina, and Andrew is back in Roanoke taking care of work. But they both have some pretty outstanding hardware to go along with a day they’ll never forget.
