Herman was affectionately known as Herm, Tony, Tone Tone and Bear. But more importantly Herman was known as a friend! Herman loved good food, football, fast cars and animals but most importantly loved his family, work family, Spencer Street family, Champlost Homes family and many friends that instantly became family. Herman always made time to talk to everyone with a joke, a laugh or as a reminder to be a good person. (Picture 4)

Herman identified himself as a Christian Muslim, but no matter what belief, Herman loved people with more reminders, to eat Kale! Keep your attitude right! Keep your gear on point! Keep your money stacked! And Keep it real day to day! Herman was a Foodie! He would feed you and speak many words of wisdom. (Picture 5)
