Selma, I have fond memories of my visits to your house with Leo. Herman loved the Lord and was strong even while his body was failing him. He had a very tender heart and loved to pray with him. I was so sad that I will be out of the country during his memorial service at Warren Community Church Saturday April 7. I will be speaking to missionaries in Guatemala that day. May the Lord strengthen you and your family, knowing that Herman is with the Lord!
I remember going to the fruit stand with my father, Hackie Armstrong, to visit. Dad would buy me a fudgesicle. I'm sure they are now discussing farming again. I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
John and I have such fond memories of Herman. His stability of life and love for family was a hallmark of who he was. We always looked for the daffodils when we passed the McNeely home. Carley Wecks
I always enjoyed waving to Herman as I drove by. Often, I would see him relaxing and sitting in the carport with the tables of tomatoes. His gardening advice was second to none and that included his secret to his gigantic rhubarb, strawberry planting, and fruit tree pruning. He was also very matter of fact when it came to his faith!
I am grateful that I can consider his family.... friends for life! He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. May your memories carry you thru these hard times, May God give you comfort and peace knowing Herman is with his heavenly Father.

My favorite is the love he had for Scott Michael from the moment he was placed in his arms. A wonderful, special relationship. You are all in my prayers.
