Lawrence P. "Hermes" Reiter

Hermes was a great soul and I was so privileged to know him in this life hope we meet again my dear brother Avatar Meher Baba Ki Jai !!!

Dearest Hermes may you forever rest in Beloved Baba's Arms.
I will miss your smile, and hearing you talk about Baba.
I met you at the Stephens' meeting on Key Biscayne 1971 and would give you rides home over the causeway to your modest apt in Miami, and was amazed at all the beautiful photos of Baba you would sell to me for $1 or $2. We would sit and have a cup of tea and you would go on about the Beloved it was so special to me. I remember when we all went with Adi to the Seaquarium...

Bye Hermes, Such a great experience to know you. Whenever I needed permission for a photograph for a CD project, it was given immediately, with all the details about the time and place of the photo as well. Your work is such a gift to us and our Beloved, in His Love, Raine

Dear Hermes, brother,

I met you in 1970 when you were staying in Miami. When you told me the incredible story of how you came to Meher Baba, I was more than impressed by the dedication of your spiritual seeking, including the rigorous discipline of ascetic Catholic orders. I felt that you had already lived many lives in little more than two decades.

Kitty Davy once told me that through your picture work you had attained a knowledge of Meher Baba's life that was unmatched. I have...

a nice story after meeting hermes in india 1973, at some time the mast mohamed next to hermes said 'I am on fire and want to burn you up. (meaning mind) hermes said no..i have service and work to do for Meher Baba... the mast Mohamed, hermes said; nodded and let out a chuckle. dear brother, friend, always in humble awe of your sacrifice, service. very early on, asking him if he had direction, in lite of working, from Meher; he told me 'he felt Baba grab him by the back of the neck' a jesture ...

Blessings in Lord Meher, Amigo, Rest Peacefully, this Journey Over

Dearest Hermes, your loss is felt 'DEEP in the HEART of Texas'. We bow with all humility and gratitude to your labor of love and service to Beloved Avatar of the Age Meher Baba. May His pleasure win you His eternal embrace and Highest Blessings. Avatar Meher Baba Ki Jai!

Happy travels dear Hermes. I'm sure Baba has a great plan in store for you. Thanks for the memories.

I met Hermes in India in the early
70's..and a few years later I heard
he was searching throughout India
for people who had photo's of Beloved Baba, and he travelled all
across India, with a Camera that
takes photo's of a photo..and that
was the start..a treasure house,
that led to "Lord Meher" and more..
each time I would see a new edition
of Lord Meher come out I would cheer
for your my brother, Hermes, Wow..
what an "Epic", and achivement for
the Ages,...
