Herral Long

For those of us here in Toledo's Old West End Herral was a gift. Not only did we love his amazing photography but also his enthusiasm for life and his generosity to this neighborhood he loved. One of my fondest memories was of Herral roller blading through the neighborhood. For me Herral was truly one amazing and special friend.

You introduced me to my passion; photography. You turned my fear and negativity into confidence and optimism. You put up with my chaos and I put up with your quirks. You changed my life in ways I could never tell you. I have missed you so much since moving to California. The missing you will continue as will the lessons you gave me. I have sold all my Nikons and traded in photography for painting. I will keep painting and you will keep shooting, Mr Long!

I knew the Long family from attending the same school as Herral Long's brother Doug. What a outstanding family! As I remember, Herral was always always the professional photographer capturing award winning images for The Toledo Blade. Truly an icon in the Toledo Community.

He was. Treasure to know and observe in his profession and as a dear friend....a loss to all who knew him...sincerely, Ursula Cauffiel
