My dad used to take me around with him everywhere. I loved when he would take me out to pick up junk, and are mornings drinking coffee, i remembered one time he was in derby and his car flipped over i was much youger but i remembered him getting out and pushing the car back over while i was sitting therd crying my eyes out. I remember working on the vehicles with him as he taught me all kinds of stuff because he would sit me under the hood with him working on them i remembered getting a bike and being taken to Newby to ride it. I have so many memories of him and I. He was the best man i habeve or ever will know. Ill sure miss those random visits. I love you dad to the end of time and back.
Definitely one I will not forget was absolutely a good friend to me , will miss you coming over just to hang out a shooting the shit RIP old friend
My dad was the very best type of man. He always took care of everyone. He was the most selfless person I’ve ever known. He didn’t care who you were or where you were from, you could always sit at his table. My dad didn’t hold grudges and he didn’t believe in second chances he believed in how ever many it took you to get it right. He was the definition of a “jack of all trades”. He enjoyed working so much he would tell you “oh I’m just playin”. If he got sick a jar of jalapeños was the cure all. The best part about my dad is he was nothing like anyone else. My dads name is Herman L. Scott. The L stands for Lee but if you ever asked him he didn’t have a middle name they made him have one. He was so funny he laughed at himself even. I’m sure everyone has a story to tell about him but my favorite is when I was little he would pick me up on Friday nights at 6pm and he would take me to get food then we would stop and eat some where (never McDonald’s) but after we would have desserts of all kinds and watch a movie. Many nights he fell asleep with me on my toddler size red couch with elephants. He may have been 65 but you would have never known.
He loved you more than anything Becca. I remember when he would pick you up. You was always so happy to see him.
Uncle Herman was one of a kind , i will miss his calls and i will cherish all of our moments together. Im sure for the rest of my life every time i see an apple i will think of him as every time i seen him he would give me one and say give this to my buddy lance that boy loves apples. He loved us all so much . Everyone who had the blessing to have him as part of their life were truly blessed. I love you uncle Herman.
Herman was the perfect neighbor and friend. I will always remember Herman as he was so kind, funny and such a positive and wonderful person as well as a Christian. He was such a caring person. If he didn’t hear from my husband or I, he would call to make sure we were ok. We will truly miss his calls, visits and just hearing his voice. The only thing I regret was not knowing Herman longer. I will miss him immensely with heartbreak and tears. He was the only Herman, a one of a kind and I will never forget him. Rest in peace, Herman. Love you.
Herman was my neighbor for years but I only met him 3 years ago. I needed quite a few trees cut down and I asked him how much he would charge. I told him what I thought it would be worth and Herman said that was way too much. In the past three years Herman has become my best friend. I learned that his word was his bond and I felt that I could trust him with anything. My only regret is that I didn’t know him longer. My wife and I asked him once if he would go to church with us and he looked at me and said “I am in church all day every day”, and I believe him. Herman watched out after our place when we were gone. A couple of service guys were trying to figure out how to get into our gate and Herman approached them and asked what they wanted. They told him they had some work to do and asked if it would be ok to go on in. Herman told them it would be a bad idea. The one guy asked Herman why and Herman said “because I don’t want you to”. God bless Herman. He will always be with us.
Herman was a neighbor of mine in town next to shear illusions..he was always nice. And kids d to me..so sorry to hear of his passing. prayers are with the family..brenda landis
Herman my sweet brother all the love you have to me my kids and grandkids there is not enough words to say,I Love you so much brother our lifes will always be feeld with all the love you had for all of your family always in our hearts I love you so much brother.
Herman was the hardest working man I have ever known. He worked from early morning until dark, summer or winter. He was always ready to help with any task. He cooked food while I was at work all day and would be ready when I came home. I will miss you dearly and this neighborhood will never be the same. Love, Becky Sumner (neighbor)
He was always there for anyone that needed him for anything no matter who you was if he could help you he did no matter what it was he would do what ever he could to help
He will be missed he was alway there if you needed him. He would alway tell me when I come out there if you can’t find it just call and I will come and show you the way and he would have to.
Herman was my brother through and through. I believe his sole purpose in this life was to try to help anyone that needed help. He never asked for anything in return, it just done his heart good to know that he helped you. I don’t know of anyone that he didn’t try to help if he knew that person needed something and it was in his power to provide it. Anyone that knew him, knew he had a heart of gold. He will be missed by a lot of people. He was one of the best brothers anyone could have. Not only was he a good brother, he was a good friend. He was kind and considerate of others. He will always have a special place in my heart. I pray that God has a special place in Heaven for him. Love you and miss you Herman.
Herman is my neighbor & one of the best men I know. He helped everyone, including me. I just can’t fathom this loss. . . My daughter & I are devastated. You will be greatly missed my friend.
