Mr. Herman was a dear friend to me and the Coulter family while a member of Bethel AME Church in Cincinnati Ohio. We spoke often via phone after Herman moved to Houma Louisiana. He was a wonderful man of faith and loved to laugh and have fun. He lived a good life. May he now rest in Peace.

Uncle Herman. I will relly miss you. I met you over 20 years in Cincinnati and you were a rock. After the passing of my father, you stepped in as a father figure. I'm glad God gave us an opportunity to get to know each other and to bond. Rest peacefully. Until we meet again, know that I love you.
