Tributes
"We remember "Uncle Herman" fondly (even though he was really a cousin!). Lots of smiles and laughter whenever your dad was visiting. He was best man at our parent's wedding and I have that photo displayed in my living room. God's peace be with each of you."
"I have the fondest memories of staying with your family at your farm. You are such a wonderful family and with the lead of your father, Herman, and mother, Dorothy, it was obvious, even as a child, of your strong and loving foundation. I will never forget the morning your father took a tick from my eyelash and put it on the stove burner. It still makes me smile. I know you will miss him so much. Love to you all, Peggy Homeier (O'Connor)"
