A great sportsman! Herman was fishing and hunting all the time. He was also a very hard worker. Always made a big deal of birthdays and holidays. Had a cottage on lake James near Angola, IN where he and his family would go for the summer. He really was a fun dad always playing tricks on someone. He would go to barn dances and always dance with the young girls. He was the life of the party. He also loved to play cards and was a very good bridge player but was a sore looser! He was an easy-going care-free man. Every Thanksgiving he would go to a trap shooting contest and bring home a turkey.
He would always say he knew when his grandsons were at his house because the minute he would open the garage door and found it a mess he would get the message. He always took his grandkids with him to show them off. It is just too bad he had to die before they all grew up he would have been so proud. NOTES By: Violet (Buesching) Scott 7 Feb 1990
