Dear family of Dr. Herkimer,
Dr. Herkimer saved my fathers leg from being amputated after a severe auto accident. It is because of Dr. Herkimer that my father was able to go out to his backyard 1/2 court basketbal court and shoot a jumpshot once again. Thank you for being his compassionate, intelligent experienced doctor..Jerry Kasper's daughter

Carl and Harry were childhood friends as our parents were members of "the gang." We spent many happy times at parties and picnics as children. Carl will truly be missed. Please accept my condolances.

Dear Diana and Family,
As your "sometime" neighbor in LM, I will miss Carl on every trip I take out to the desert. he was just so engaging, a great story teller and an entertaining character if ever there was one. For me, not having him as my neighbor and friend is a great loss. I will miss him along with all of you.

so long "Herk"and may God speed. I was an MHS classmate of Carl's two years behind him. He graduated with my sister Sara and they were great friends. Carl treated me in Toledo for knee problems. I always respected him as it seemed nothing ever bothered him. He was a class person in high school and friends with everyone. I send my condolences to his family, colleagues and friends. We have lost a truly fine individual. Winston Scheer

I was so saddened by the news of Dr. Herkimer's passing. We first met in the 70's when he set my then 16yr.old daughter's ankle. Just around August of last year, as he covered for Dr. Ben, he did the follow up on my knee replacement. We laughed about me asking if it was all right for me to tan before the scar was healed, and he sporting his wonderful tan, jokingly said, "you know tanning isn't good for you". What a great personality. He will be soooooo missed.

Diana, my most sincere and heartfelt love is with you and your entire family in this most difficult time. I am forever touched by Carl's loving and caring heart. His humor, his smile and his fun loving attitude on life will be with me forever. I thank God that I had the chance to be a part of his life and feel truly blessed that he will always be a part of my life. I will cherish every memory. Thank you for sharing him with the world. We are all better to have know him. God Bless. Love you, Kate

Dianna and Family: I had the privilege of working with Dr.Herkimer off and on for years. He not only had a great sense of humor, but was so kind and caring. If anyone had a problem, whether it was medical, personal, or financial, he was always willing to discuss it. A true mentor to so many. He will be greatly missed, but always remembered. He truly was a man of integrity. May God help all of you through this time of sadness.

It was a pleasure to have known him and an honor to have had 10 years to work with him, he was just "one of the girls!" He will be missed dearly by many.

My fondest memory of Carl is him calmly reading the newspaper in his daughter's hospital room after lovely grand-daughter, Lauren, was born. Son-in-law Patrick was trying to wrangle up a pizza for Cristy, who was talking a mile a minute with me and Diana... Proud Papa just was THERE, in the midst of all that chaos -- a rock of calm in the storm. God bless you, Carl, as you were a blessing to us!

In 1973 Dr. Carl Herkimer refused to sentence a 7 year old girl to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. He got special permission for me to be placed in a study he was working on to repair the legs of adults with bone transplant. Because of Dr. Herkimer my left leg was not amputated. I have run, danced and jumped and I have a wonderful family. I learned from Dr. Herkimer to never except--"we've never tried that before" as a final answer. Words could not express gratitude enough for the kindness he showed me and the impact he made on my life. He was a medical geniuos and more than that a kind and gentle man. I am sure the impact of his loss will be felt greatly by many.
Sincerely,
Connie L. (Wolf) Wallace
