I will always miss you & cherish every day, every memory we had together. From introducing me to sound as a toddler, to our PA days together playing with robots, to our good chats as i got older about sound, your life and everything in between. You will always be one of my biggest hero. Love you Grandpa Van ❤️ you will live on.

Herman always wanted to be paratrooper from the time he joined the military. After ten years in the military he was able to take the jump course. It was a proud moment.

To Donna, Marty, Cindy, Pam, Kevin, Aaron, Maguire, Cassidy, Isobel, Kelten. I’m Free. Don’t Grieve for me now I’m Free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard His call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I’ve found my peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah , yes, these things I too will miss. Be burdened not with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full I’ve savoured much good friends, good times, A loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don’t lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now and set me free. Love always and forever, Herman, Dad, Van, Grandpa, Opa.

We met Herman through the OPP chorus 9 years ago. Over that time we came to consider him as a true friend. Nobody could ask for a more trustworthy, loyal, generous and caring person. He had a heart of gold and would always be there to help you in a moment. We enjoyed many conversations sitting on our deck with a glass in hand. We will treasure the wooden plaque you made in my Mom's memory. Herman's passing has left a large hole in our group, which will never be filled. Rest in peace my friend.

Opa was always involving Maguire and Kelten in big projects during the summer. He was always patient while letting them do the work. He was always there to guide them.

It broke my heart to hear the sad news of Herman's passing, always such a gentleman and great with my Cadets. The two of you have always made such a great team together, inseparable! Herman made all gatherings organized and comfortable such a delight to be around for everyone. Please take care of yourself, I know this will be difficult for some time but you do have family and friends around. Big hugs!

Dear Donna and family.
Beth and I are saddened to hear about Herman’s passing. As a leader at our church, I could always rely on Herman. Whether it was cutting the lawn, working on the sound booth, cooking a breakfast or a dinner Herman was always the first to volunteer. To say that he was good Christian soldier would be an understatement. Herman was a great man who was there to help others. He will be missed.

Herman was one of the nicest men I have ever met. His attitude was always positive...he saw the good in everything. Both he & Donna worked very hard at helping with the keyboard & other equipment necessary for the practices of the OPP Chorus.
Herman has a new address now...Heaven. I wish him peace everlasting.

Dear Donna and family please accept our sincere condolences at this sad time with the passing of our cousin Herman. We have fond memories of meeting the two of you at a small but memorable family reunion in Walkerton back in 2006 in particular Herman barbecueing steaks whilst it was snowing. Memories are forever.

Hi Donna
What sad news I received that Herman had passed.
I fondly think of him exchanging jokes and Dutch words during my time with him at the OPP Chorus.
He was always ready with a helping hand regardless of what was needed.
The picture is how I fondly will remember him, with a smile on his face no matter how he felt.
My thoughts are with you and please look after yourself in this difficult time.
Love Angie Bullick

Dear Donna - the news of the passing of Herman was not music to my ears, when I think of Herman I think of you. I am so very sorry for your loss ( our loss ) what a trooper. Know that we only got to share him as long as we did because of your wonderful care, devotion and dedication to this man. Where Herman was Donna is, I only recall seeing him with out you when we stole him away to a special function. The Sgt at Arms of our CAVUNP Association, a true volunteer to worthy causes. The man set the bar high for being a productive Citizen and great human being. On a selfish note, I will miss relying on him to make those all important motions - ... to accept the minutes as they have been distributed !
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember Herman.
Sincerely: Gary Miner (Barrie Ontario)

He was always a good brother to me! I remember one Christmas I got a my first wristwatch! I was around 10 years old, Herm would be 21! I lost it coming home from
a hockey game! I was so upset and worried what kind of trouble I would be in! Herman said not to worry , he would go back to look for it and take care of telling Mom Dad!
Many a time he would give me a quarter to go to the corner store for treats!
I know many will tell you Herman, to Rest In Peace , Well peace you will have but I’m sure you will keep busy and rest after a busy day!

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and condolences on the passing of Herman (Van). We have known you and family for over 40 years since those early years in Petawawa. It was such a shock to hear this news. I will always remember sharing rides to work to Base Borden all those years ago. Also just seeing both of you only about a week or so ago and telling Van how wonderful he was looking especially since all he had gone thru the past couple years. Please know you and family are in our thoughts and prayers.
