I will fondly miss the Cardinals vs. Cubs rivalry exchanges with Kenny. We had much fun chiding each other over the years. I will also miss picking up a few bucks from him from our annual Series wagers.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers go out to all the Herzing family.
I was so sad to hear about Ken. Will remember him fondly when I worked at CSB at the Bucktail Village branch. We used to talk often about him knowing my dad Jack Gier from Ridgway. Ken was a salesman that stopped at our little grocery store on the west end, my dad told me some stories about Ken also, close to fifty years ago. Also will always remember him as very quick, smart, always wired to the max business man and gentleman. My thoughts go out to all of his family.
I was so sorry to see the news of your father’s passing. Bobby and I offer prayers for you and your family.
Mary Lou and Family,
You and your family have our heartfelt sympathy at this time. May your memories help ease the sorrow with each passing day. You and your loved ones will be in our thoughts and prayers.
To the entire Herzing Family:
