While we were at Sharrid's grandpa's place in Cal City, I asked grandpa if he had any old pictures of Sharrid, maybe any toddler or baby pictures or really anything. He dug up what he had and it wasn't great but it was better than nothing. He said I could have whatever I wanted. These are what I brought away...
A young Billy Hill (Sharrid's dad). Skinny huh?
Billy is on the right. Although Shar claims he looks more like his mom, I can see resemblence.
Billy standing in front of the house he built when the boys came to live with him. (Stockton CA) This is the 4 bedroom house Sharrid grew up in from about age 12.
The boy on the right is Coshmond, Shar's older brother. Coshmond went by DeeDee a lot growing up.
This little toddler is Jody, His real name is Ramethius, but he always went by Jody. Shar's oldest brother. His grandpa didn't have any really young ones of Shar like this.
Shar is on the left, Coshmond is on the right. Shar is about 12 or 13 here he said, which makes Coshmond about 14-15.
Sharrid around 12 or 13 years old.
Billy is on the left.
I assume if there are any young pictures of Shar, they are at his dad's or non existent. Shar was young, maybe a little older than a toddler when his parents split. At first he lived with his mom with his brothers in LA til he was about 12 and his dad took the boys from there on out. His dad might have young pictures of the boys, but it's also possible he only has pictures from when he had them alone in Stockton. Since Sharrid doesn't know where his mom is, due to the fact that his dad didn't want or care to know where she was going when they split, there's really no way of getting a hold of old pictures. The picture of Shar above here is probably now the best young picture I have of him.

I can't believe Shar is only 13 in those pictures! His legs are just as long as they are now. Great pictures. They will be prized possessions.
yeah I'll ask him how tall he thinks he was at that age but I'll bet he was already 6 feet.
Yeah wow he was huge! Yeah I dont know what he is thinkin he looks just like Billy! And He looks just like his brothers too! I could mistake them all for Shar! Cool pics!
Those are such great pictures. Pictures are such an important link to the past. It's funny to see Sharrid when he was younger.
Well, he hasn't changed too much. I swear that he looks like he's 6'8" there too!
I love the young pictures of Sharrid. He was a great-looking kid. And I, too, see a lot of resemblance between Billy and Shar.
