Dear family… I was just given this news. We are so sorry for your loss, his life was a blessing. Tom always spoke so highly of Dick, he would recall growing up with the entire Herzing clan. I wish I could remember specific times to share with you, but more than anything , Tom always remarked Dick as being soft spoken and a kind spirit. Tom admired his dedication to family and church, and if I’m not mistaken there was some very serious chasing down some fish and deer. May you find peace- you are in our prayers . Tom and AJ
My sympathy to you Mike and Lynn on the passing of Mike’s brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
