Frederick Joseph Herman

My first memories would begin when my Uncle Fred (more like a brother, actually) and I were very young together, as I arrived a few months ahead of him in birth. Over many years we spent great times together-part time at his house, and part time at mine. I would go and watch him play basketball in Negaunee (he was an excellent player), and he would come see me play football in Ishpeming. We always went together with our wives to the U.P. State Fair. Although I moved away after college, we kept talking to each other by phone and on summer visits, including when he was in the Marines and I was in the paratroopers and infantry during the Korean War. I am sure God will welcome him in Heaven, and I will always fondly remember him. Jerry Herman
