What a Great guy. RIP
My family’s condolences to the Family
Thank you Paul you are more than welcome to the service if you like
Herschell was a kind and gentle soul. He didn’t talk a lot but instead would often be observing quietly with a smile. I know he loved his children and grandchildren. I enjoyed knowing him for over 25 years. Sending hugs to his family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.
Sending our deepest condolences,
The Kindred Hospice Team
Thank you for all you did for dad
So sorry to just find out that this kind man passed recently. We will remember him coming into the little “Chester Gap Grocery” store to pay for his weekly Northern Va. daily. Always paid in advance. Such a gentle man. Prayers to his beautiful wife Shirley and the family.
