I enjoyed the many stories Herm told of his life, cars, and boats. He had a great laugh and joy of life. I discovered how intelligent he was when I met his wife. What a wonderful choice he made. Together they raised three great children. He will always be remembered.

Herm, we shared so many fun times in our working years. One of my favorites were the trips to the zoo and those crazy chimps and their total lack of modesty. We had many laughs over those visits. Betty Ellis
