My condolences to Herm's family. Herm was my wonderful neighbor for 35 years. We shared our love for dogs. He will be greatly missed.

Herm was a wonderful, caring neighbor. He always had a smile for you. He had a very caring nature and always so polite. When he had his dogs he was always outside playing with them. He was always on the go. It was sad to see him having to be confined to his house. He had been a go-getter.
