My deepest sympathies to the family!
Herman, I am thinking about you. With sympathy, Alice Hart🙏
Been thinking about you all and sending loving thoughts your way
Herman and family,
We are sorry to learn of Don’s passing. He and Vic worked together at Gerber many years and of course we attended many ball games at TC Roberson. May God’s presence comfort you and bring you peace.
