I worked with Herman at Thorstad late 70s early 80s. I was just a snot covered kid all of 19. The photo you have of him is perfect because I remember him always smiling. Sorry for your loss.

Very sorry for your loss.I knew Herman Through Bennetts MCC. I also knew him when he worked at Thorstad Chevrolet. He worked on my service truck when he had the shop off Fish Hatchery.His print shop printed some work for my Happy's Heating business. He was always up and looking to the future kind of guy. He will be missed.

Really enjoyed working with Herman at Thorstad Chevrolet. He always had a smile and was always joking about something. He will be missed.

I met Mr Franklin six plus years ago in Madison outside of camp Randell stadium. We met during a verbal Confrontation. I consider my self on being a very professional man that always think before I start a project. That particular day I met my match when I encountered Mr Franklin. I'm a metro bus operator and I was instructed per my run to park in a location in front of camp Randell before I start my run Mr Franklin thought otherwise and definitely wanted to share his thoughts with me. And me being who I am, I'm going to take time to educate Mr Franklin. Well Mr Franklin let me know quickly he's the one doing all the educating that day. I remember hearing his voice and it immediately sounded like the older men in my family. I politely told mr Franklin. NO PROBLEM SIR! put the metro bus in gear and move it it in another safe location. Mr Franklin and I would see each other from time to time when I worked that area. Mr Franklin Is a genuine real man that we need more of in this world that's the message I received from him and it was a pleasure to have met him. Later I found out through my coworker and my friend which we share the same birthday January 15th. Anthony Franklin that Mr Franklin is his father. We laugh at the story often. I can definitely tell that's his dad .he comes from good stock! Rest in peace Mr Franklin

You could not have not met a nicer more caring Man. I enjoyed a few cold drinks on a hot day with Herman. I will miss Him for sure.
