Mr. Hermansen graciously hired me when I was out of work. He was head of enterprise systems for his organization. It was a world of honest and ethical people, and Walter was stalwart.
I was proud to be chosen to organize his retirement party. The employees presented him with a well-weighted and richly hand-cut Waterford decanter. He was touched.
God bless Mr. Hermansen's family. He will be remembered with admiration.
