Herman O. Albrecht

The love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

My deepest condolences. I so enjoyed working with Herman at Riverside Elementary. I appreciated his sense of humor, his willingness to help me out, and his patience in teaching me when I was seriously struggling. At Halloween, I had put a No Broom Parking sign on a wall in my room. Overnight, a broom showed up. My fourth graders thought it should be given a ticket. The next day, a quarter was taped to the ticket. The kids roared with laughter. The culprit: Herman. I often worked on the weekend when the heat was turned down, and I was even cold during school days when the heat was up. Herman showed me how to turn it up. (Thanks, Herman!) On the last day of my first year at Riverside, we had a golf outing at Maple Hills. Somehow, I was put in a group with the two phy. ed. teachers and Herman. They were all very patient. Herman taught me how to get on a green with something that I only remember as the ice cream scoop. I used it many times after that. He will be missed.
