I've known Hymann since about 1993 or so. He was truly a man I could look up to as an example of a great Christian. It was a blessing when I accompanied him, along with several others, when he preached at a local retirement home.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Dot and the rest of his family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Vann family. Mr. Vann was truly a wonderful man that was loved by all. We were blessed to have known him in this 'journey on earth'. With deepest sympathy. Cathy, Russell and Donald.

Vann Family,
Hyman will be sorely missed. What a gentle, compassionate soul. I will always be grateful for all the times he showed up to pray for me and my family before a surgery. For all the times he was there for my mom, thank you Vann family for sharing him. Our sincere condolences . God bless, Rose & Norman Foster
