Uncle Hermy, I wish we lived closer and had more opportunity to visit more. I remember you as always being such a happy guy and always positive! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Verna and family...

Herm & Verna were very special neighbors to us in 1962 when we lived next to them. No matter how things were going Herm always had a positive outlook. Thank you for welcoming us into your neighborhood and allowing us to be your friends.

Goodbye Granpa, I love you so so much. I miss you so much already. The house isnt the same without you.

Jim you will be missed, Great car hauler and just a real nice guy to work with and be around! Real sorry to hear this! My condolences to Jim's family. We will miss him at the retirees lunches. See ya done the road Jim!

A most special soul. Herm will always be in our hearts. I am sure he and the two Lester's have a lot to talk about today. I would love to be a fly on that wall.

Bye Grandpa I will always remember your smile and your kindness to me.

He was such a sweet man and an amazing grandpa. He will be truly missed and always loved.

I worked with Jim for many years. He was one of the best guys I have ever known. May he rest in peace. Ron Swan
