So very sorry about Herman! I will never forget meeting him and Norma at One East Market many years ago while working there.
I always enjoyed serving the "Friday Nighters" and getting a big hug and smile from Herman! He was my buddy and I adore him and Norma. Truly a beautiful couple! He will be missed! Until we see him again, RIP dear friend. Love you Norma!
