Helen, Herman was not only my mentor, he also was a good friend and well wisher. He was a very good man. I will truly miss him. May God bless his soul.
It was good to see you yesterday. Thank you for coming!
So sorry to hear. I learned so much from him on my subjects and he was an excellent council member.
Helen, John and I send our deepest condolences for the loss of Herman here on this earth. We will never forget the wonderful day in 2016 we spent with Herman and friends at Johnson Space Center, watching him fly his newly-built, beautiful B-24 Liberator model airplane. Not to mention the love with which my mom, Alene Ganzer, spoke of both him and you — you were wonderful friends of hers to the very end, and we Ganzer Girls love you both for that. There is no doubt that Herman and Mom are striking up a heavenly bridge tournament right about now… and anticipating us joining them in due time! God bless Herman and God bless you.
Helen,
I wish I had known…
I loved this most kind hearted man that was my cousin.my beloved Father’s Sisters son.
