Herman was a true pioneer in the farm toy world. He was one of the first restorers of farm toys and was known as the best. Herman was a good friend, who always had a smile, a hug, or a handshake. Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband and father. Race on Herman. Kevin and Nancy Collins

Mrs Diane and family,
We were very sadden to hear of Mr. Herman passing away. He was a great person who taught Jeremy and myself a lot about farm toys. He will be missed very much but as my son said when I told him he has two tractors that he done for him and he will always look at them and remember the man behind the great job of restoring plus all the times we had with Mr. Herman. We will be remembering all of you in your time of sympathy. The Angotti's

My first job as a 14 year old kid was working the brazier line while Herm worked the grill. We had a lot of laughs and every time I saw him over the years, he always had a smile on his face. His was a great guy. My condolences to Diane, Eric, Darla and Kristen.

We will miss Herman at the farm toy shows. He was always ready to tell a joke (or listen to the other guy tell a joke), share a smile or talk to a young tractor collector. Thank you to his family for sharing him with the toy show folks.
