Herman received his MBA from the University of Texas at Austin and served in the United States Air Force. Upon his return, he worked over 30 years in state government, and retired from The Texas Railroad Commission in 1984, as Personnel Director.

After retirement, Herman enjoyed gardening, vacationing in South Padre Island, hosting annual Easter Egg hunts for his grandchildren, and cooking up the best catfish with all the trimmings for his family, including his church family. He was a devout Christian, attending Dripping Springs United Methodist Church in Dripping Springs, Texas.

During this difficult time, his children and grandchildren had the privilege of being able to comfort him and letting him know how much he was loved and appreciated. He felt our love and reciprocated it daily. For this, we will forever be grateful.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the many doctors and nurses at Seton Dell Medical Center for the care they provided to our father.
