The best surgeon that I had

Herm was a very special friend to me besides him putting me together many times,we become friends memories of trips to Colorado and fishing and just him listening to my stories and I listening to his in the many rides out west I will miss him dearly. My condolences to the family.

So very sorry for your loss.

Doc did a knee replacement in '09.....rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders....I always kidded he left scars all over my body but always had time to visit whenever I would run into him anywhere...I think the last place was the farmers market....

He was my Doc Knee replacement in 1998
