Thinking of all of you during this difficult time. Herman was a great man with a kind soul and good sense of humor. I first met Herman and many of the family on the Jaycees softball fields. He was so good at coaching the girls and always loved kids. Herman will be missed by so many whose lives he touched. My heart breaks for all of you. May God bless you all giving you the strength to carry on and may you find peace & comfort with each other with your memories of Herman. With deepest sympathy.
