George J. Herrmann, age 87, a Sheboygan Falls resident, entered eternal life on Thursday, October 13, 2022 at Pine Haven Christian Communities. George was born on August 4, 1935 in Manitowoc. He was the son of the late Eldred and Lucille (Pankratz) Herrmann. On June 3, 1961 he married Corrine C. Kafka at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Two Rivers.
George attended Lincoln High School graduating with the class of 1953. He earned his bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh and his master's degree in Supervisory Education from the University of Colorado, Greeley. George was a supervisor for the State of Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, retiring in 1994. In his early career he was both a teacher and principal with the Chilton school system. In addition to his full-time career, he was also a long-time relief milk hauler for Richard Sixel and Jerry Herrmann. George and Corrine designed and built their retirement, dream home on Rockville Rd with a barn and woods for horseback riding, many easter egg hunts for the grandkids and wonderful walks. George was a 'horse guy' and caring for his horses over the years was a huge part of his life. He enjoyed pulling his family, grandchildren and friends on horse-drawn wagon rides down Rockville Road. He had a passion for history and enjoyed volunteering at Pinecrest Historical Village. George was active in the communities in which he resided. He was a past member of the Cleveland Lions Club, a religious education instructor at St. Wendel's Catholic Parish in Cleveland, a member of Ss. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Kiel, a past supervisor for the Town of Schleswig, and an Interim Principal for Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic School in Kiel.
