I wish I could have met this man. To be so cared for and loved by so many is something we all hope for and few have. I hope Herman knew how many truly cared about his friendship and what it meant to them to call him "friend".

15 years ago (almost to the day) my grandson and I had the opportunity to visit Herman at his home in Pine Mountain Club. It had snowed. Helena stayed by the fire upstairs while Herman and I were in his workshop downstairs assembling a conversion tranny. My grandson made snow angels outside. I'll miss him.

Heartbreaking news indeed.  He was one stand-up guy and touched just about everyone in the Triumph community in a good way.  He will be missed, certainly by me.

We just heard from Helena that Herman has passed away, complications for pneumonia .  More to follow Helena sending me eMail.

I cannot express how hurtful this tragedy is … Herman is/was One of a Kind … his loss … sorry I can’t go on.
