My sister and myself first became acquainted with Herman in 2007, via the when he helped us to find a long lost family grave in North Dakota. We subsequently made a trip from our home in England to visit the grave and Herman, his wife Blanche and son Michael drove over 1200 miles to meet us there. This was the beginning of our friendship with Herman, which lasted until he could no longer stay in touch with us via emails. We will always be grateful for the friendship of this very special man and for his help in bringing closure to part of our family history. We will remember and cherish him always.

Rev. Hartmann was always supportive to me and my family. He married my husband and me and baptized our daughter. A very kind, gentle man that cared about people. May God give you peace during this difficult time and wrap His loving arms around all of you.

God Bless,
