I just heard about his passing, and am in total shock. He was my supervisor at Children’s, and became my friend as well. He was the best boss in the world — kind, caring, and helpful. He let me do my job without micromanaging. We kept in touch after I moved to Washington. I’m so sorry for your loss. 

I remember when I started with the Department, Hermes’ unit was a neighboring unit in the old Barranca Office.  As a new employee, Hermes was always so pleasant and kind if I had a question or needed a field itinerary signed.  As the years went on and I became his peer, we shared in laughs.  Nothing but positivity from Hermes, even when dealing with some not so pleasant situations within the office.  His Spirit  Lives on...  May God Bless his Family.

Respectfully ,

Rhonda

I served as a Supervising Social Worker for many years with Hermes before he retired.  Many a Social Worker wanted to be in his unit to be with a giving supportive man in a tough job.   After he retired i think we had a day picking up some furniture for someone in his family with my truck.   Outside work we had a great day laughing about life, family, and DCFS.   I'm honored and happy to have known him in my life just as many others.

Hermes was a sweet man, a loyal employee and a good person.  He will be remembered as one of our own here in the Glendora office. 

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Hermes. I worked with him at the County of Los Angeles what a wonderful and kind person he was. I am praying for his wife children and family that you all find peace in God’s gentle care

I had the honor of calling Hermes my Boss for a long time.  He was so dedicated to serving and ensuring that all the children we serve were safe.  He had this way of calming me down when I was so stressed out.  He enjoyed all his years at DCFS and I am truly blessed that I learned my job from such a wonderful man.  He was a man of faith and believed in the Lord.  I will miss you Boss.  May you RIP. ❤️🙏🏼

Hermès was such a nice man. He was always polite to me. I noticed his commitment to his job and to the staff he covered. I am truly honored to have had an opportunity to know him. He was a true gentleman. His dedication is an inspiration. God bless his beautiful spirit and god bless his loved ones. 

My condolences to the family I worked  With Hermès for many years he was always such a sweet man he will be missed.
