Herman will be very missed at Rebel's Roost in Gettysburg! We cherished the Fridays he would stop by and sit on the steps across from the checkout and chat for awhile. Loved the stories of growing up in West Virginia, the coal mines and all his "adventures" He was a kind gentle man and will be greatly missed by Sandy, Joann & all the Rebel's Roost gang! RIP Herman!

When I would go visit my dad he always made you feel welcomed.
Me and my husband would always
Joke dad will fill this truck up with stuff before Leaving for home. He had a big heart. He worked hard all his life.
Loved going to visit him every year.
If any body knew my dad he could sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo.
He was a wonderful story teller about the past. Will miss those the most. You Dad ❤
