What fun all the cousins used to have when we were kids playing at Aunt Ruth's/Grandma's house. Herman was the leader whether we were playing at the pond or shooting the BB gun. Thanks for the memories. May God grant you peace.

I worked with Herman for six months when I lived in Des Moines. It was February thru August 1987. He was the nicest person at that terminal/station at Williams. I was a pleasure knowing him. So sorry to hear of his passing.
