Hermann Winkelmann

I was very touched by all of the beautiful stories I've heard about you.
You sounded like a wonderful man...May you rest in peace, and may we find more kind souls like you in our journey here on earth...Rest in peace, I know you will...

Rest in peace now Mr. Winkelmann. You gave me one of my first jobs and taught me many values in working that still hold true today. I will never forget my times with you. Thanks!

Hermann was a good man I only wish I could have got to know him better! He was always good for a story and a smile. I will miss him

I mourn with you. I worked for Hermann for almost 20 years A tough boss, but a good and honest man. I had not seen your Dad in the last few years. And I'm sorry for that. He is at peace now.

Hermann, I will forever remember your stories. Some really made me chuckle, and some made me sad. I know you are resting in peace and will be watching over all of us. You would always leave me a final saying when leaving a voice mail. I will now say it to you. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Sorry for your loss Christoph and family. May he rest in peace.
