I was afforded the opportunity to know Mr. Smith when employed at the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station during 68-70. I knew him to be a well liked and respected individual. He was a pleasant and jovial man, full of kindness and full of laughter. Please accept my sincere sympathy during the loss of your love one. May God give you strength as you grieve and may the memories shared together remain forever in your hearts.

TO THE FAMILY,
While thinking about Herman, I can only remember the "GOOD TIMES, Herman shared with my parents, especially Buster (my father). I can recall one night, I was asleep; My daddy and Herman woke me up to play the song "FOR THE GOOD TIMES" BY AL GREENE.
Now they shall meet again in Heaven, where they will have a good time.
