Born on June 2, 1926, in Wingdale, NY, he was the son of the late Oscar and Mary (Gutler) Schreiber. Herman proudly served in the 14th Armored Division of the US Army during World War II. After serving his country, he worked for his father’s construction company, Oscar Schreiber and Sons, for many years.
