Uncle Herman,
I only met you a few times, but I used to brag about you to all my fiends. To this day, we still look for your name when we're watching the old shows on the TVLAND channel. You lived most of your life in California, but you were never forgotten by your family back here in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Rest in peace.

Herman, it was great getting to know you over the last 6 months. Ally and I am sure you are in a better place now. We hope our visits made your last months a little more fun. :)

You and your family are in our prayers.
