I have never met a more courageous and kind person than Herman as he faced the challenges of living with a long standing medical condition. He and Mary are the most inspiring team I have ever met and I am a much better medical provider for having known them. Herman was incredibly generous in his spirit.He was kind and brave and positive in the face of incredible adversity. He is that rare individual who molds you as a professional, and helps you to really understand a patient's life, and that a patient is, after all, not a defining characteristic. But one of many roles that any one of us is given the task of filling, even if not by choice. Herman was first and foremost a wonderful human being. I will always be so grateful for all that he taught me about the real story of medical care. He and Mary were an amazing team. The best I've ever seen. My condolences to Mary and the family. I wish you strength and courage and the knowledge that you both made a huge impact on all of us lucky enough to care for you.
