Not sure what to say?

Herman was one of our most favorite "PEW FRIENDS." We loved seeing Herman on Sunday mornings and seeing his warm smile, along with his wonderful sense of humor. We loved Herman as did so many others. Our deepest sympathy to the family and his legacy as a "Pew Friend" lives on in his son Dan and Gloria.
Friends in Christ,
Don and Libby McElduff

We were so blessed to call Mr. Herman a good friend. He developed a close bond with our son Caleb. They discussed Mr. Herman's experiences in World War 2, and shared their faith. Mr. Herman always wanted Caleb to think of him as his good friend. Mr. Herman kept alive the art of the thoughtful, well written letter. We treasure the letters we received. Mr. Herman was always in such good spirits. His cheerful attitude was contagious. He was a real Christian gentleman and it was such a privilege...

Dan, i will always be happy that i met Mr. Herman. What a wonderful, wonderful man. He could light up a room with his smile!
Much love and prayers

Danny and Gloria I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. McGrew will be missed by so many people. His smile, kindness, and thoughtfulness touched so many people. He always told me that the Bashas were a part of his family and made me feel that way. Ill certainly miss that big smile, hug and joke he had ready for me. My prayers are with the family.

My parents & your parents were close friends for years. I remember growing up with you at James Island Baptist Church & social activities at your house. We were lucky kids to be raised by such good parents in a loving & nuturing Church atmosphere.
My mother(Nadine Broad) enjoyed visits from your Dad and Danny at Ashley Park where she lived for the last 8 years of her life. She died 8/30/17. I share in your grief for the loss of our last remaining parents. One reason we can bear this...

Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your father. I remember him with fond thoughts while growing up in McCalls Corner and Ft. Johnson Baptist Church.

I have such fond memories of Mr. McGrew. He always welcomed my sister, Lizzie, and I into their home. Mr. McGrew would give us a ride every Sunday to First Baptist Church, and we would love listening to his jokes and stories. I'll never forget the devotionals he and Mrs. McGrew would have every night after dinner. He was an amazing father, husband, and neighbor. My prayers go out to the entire McGrew family.

A great family man who will be missed. Prayers for the family.
