Not sure what to say?

Herman and I attended grade school together as well as played together as kids in our small Eureka community. I Just learned of his death and I am deeply saddened even though it has been some years.

So sorry to find this while searching for Herman. I was very fortunate to work with Herman at OSU in the late 80´s. Although I left Ohio we maintained contact for years. He was a dear soul and we shared many special times while working together. My condolences to his family.

I knew Herman for many years as our houses were close together, His father and my father worked together on projects for Barber . Sorry to know you are gone!

I worked with Dr. Tolbert at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, in the 70's when he was a resident there in Psychiatry. He was a wonderful and gifted MD. Staff and patients loved him. He kept in touch by a card once a year after he returned to Alabama. My condolences to his family.

Dr Tolbert was my attending during my residency in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Ohio State University. His guidance was crucial and his kind and fair spirit were an inspiration. I owe him a great deal and I will never forget him.

Herman was a pleasure to have around. He and I ate together quite often where he share some about his profession and his love for San Diego. He had a beautiful voice. He is missed

Dr. Herman Tolbert and I met when he was a first year Psychiatry Resident and I was beginning my clinical rotations in Medical School at Ohio State University in 1974. His kindness, skill, and respect for patients was probably the greatest influence in my choosing Psychiatry as a career. His humor, fun-loving approach to life, intelligence, and great story telling made him a most welcome guest. My daughter Ronika who was only a small child during our time in Columbus says he was one of...
