I've known Hymann since about 1993 or so. He was truly a man I could look up to as an example of a great Christian. It was a blessing when I accompanied him, along with several others, when he preached at a local retirement home.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Dot and the rest of his family.

Vann Family,
Hyman will be sorely missed. What a gentle, compassionate soul. I will always be grateful for all the times he showed up to pray for me and my family before a surgery. For all the times he was there for my mom, thank you Vann family for sharing him. Our sincere condolences . God bless, Rose & Norman Foster
