Message from Jan Zehr

It was a great pleasure working with Dr. Herrman through out my years at the Sheriff's Department. He was always there to help and never refused. He will be missed, not only as a fellow employee but as a friend.

Message from The Perkins Family

Our most sincere condolences at the loss of Dr. Herman. He was a great man and supported my father and his Four Chaplains memorial at the Legion every year. He will be greatly missed. My God Bless you all at this very sad time.

Message from Julie F. Cummings

Dr. Herrman was not just a friend or a Dr., he was much more. He loved his daughters with such respect, and he gave himself to this community. He will be a very hard man for anyone to fill his shoes. I was lucky and knew him as my best friends "Dad" and I will always carry in my heart so many loving memories of him from my childhood. He loved his children and when he was around them and his Grandchildren his face lit up like a Christmas tree. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Message from Jeni Mathys Cihocki

It was a pleasure to get to know Dr. Herrman so many years ago while working at Country Bob's Restaurant. I remember all those nights he quizzed me on the human body in preparation for becoming an occupational therapist.
What a great man!

Message from Gloria Dosztan

Many memories and great stories we all have of Dr. Herrman. He had a purpose in life and definately lived it! I am thankful for his care given to my family as he did surgery on them, and always with a caring and professional attitude. Having worked at LCGH with him, he was always willing to explain things. You will always be remembered, God Bless.

Message from Scott Schmidt

Dear Marcia and Family, Aleka and I would like to pass on our sympathy to all of you during this tough time. John was a long-time friend and colleague sharing in several of the same organizations and activities and I. He was a voice of reason and discernment especially amidst controversy. That is not to say that he didn't enjoy causing controversy himself! He often hurled a well-placed comment to entice people to think and not just follow like sheep. A true gentleman, a trusted friend and colleague and a font of knowledge and wisdom...such will ever be Doc Herrman. "...by the way Scott, it's with two (2) "R's"..." Please let me know when his services will be.
Sincerely,
Scott Schmidt-President, NYS Association of County Coroners and Medical Examiners, Training Officer-DMORT Region 2

Message from Randy & Deb Schell

Marcia & Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We should all feel blessed that Doc decided many years ago to settle in our community because all the positive things he did for LCGH and this community are so significant that they are impossible to list. We are truly honored to have known him, worked with him and learned from him. He will always hold a very special place in our hearts and in the history of Lewis County General Hospital. He was truly one of most special men we have ever known.

Message from David McBath

Marcia and family:
I offer my deepest sympathy to you on your loss. Lewis County and NY state have lost a precious gem. Doc Herrman devoted so much of his time on earth in service to the community. It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with him, and get to know him over the years. He always had an infectious smile on his face when greeting you. I'll never forget his stories, and my time with him during various DMORT activities.
I hope you find some comfort in the fact that his memory will live on in the hearts and minds of the many people he met, and helped, during his service.

During the late 1970's & up to the mid 1980's I had the good fortunate to work closely with John in the development & implementation of the EMS 1202 Planning & EMS 1203 Implementation Federal grants which allowed us to move forward with many EMS programs & also developed the Regional Councils for Central & Northern New York. John was not only essential but pivotal to the success we have achieved in the EMS program. Always kind & gentle but with very firm direction for the correct avenue to follow. He will be missed.

Message from Robert D Allen

Dear Marcia and family,
I was very saddened to hear of Doc's passing. I was both fortunate and honored to have known him for more than thirty years. I always felt uplifted whenever I would see Doc, shake his hand, and simply say "Hello." The law enforcement community has lost one of its greatest advocates and friend. He was a true humanitarian. Rest in peace Doc....and "thank you."

Message from Julie Valvo Stone

Dear Marcia and Family-

My sincere condolences for your loss. I was so sad to hear the news as I (we, my family) will always hold a special place in our hearts for John. He was such a sweet, caring person who opened up his home to my family after they had to vacate our home due to fire while it was being rebuilt. That generosity will never be forgotten. And it speaks volumes to the type of man John was. Not many people would make that offer. During that time we had the great pleasure of getting to know him, and his dog "Guy". : ) They were family to us. He will be missed. I always think of him fondly with his pipe and cowboy boots. My Best-
Julie Valvo (Skowyra) Stone

Message from Wendy Valvo (Skowryra) Rose

I am very saddened to hear about John. He was an amazing man and lived an amazing life. He was a good friend to my family and we will always be grateful that he took us in when our house burned in the early 80's. We lived with John for almost a year. I'll also never forget Guy and Immy. John did my appendectomy when I was in 7th grade and I remember crying saying to him "I'll never be able to wear a bikini again" and he said "I promise I will cut below your bikini line and you will be able to wear a bikini" Anyway my scar is so faint and he was right. He will be missed and always thought of with love and kindness. With Love, Wendy Rose

Message from Joe and Joan Skowyra

Marcia-Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have such fond memories of John and will never forget his friendship and generosity when he offered his home to us at our time of need when our home burned one very cold January morning in the 80's. A close bond was established during those eight months when we were housemates that has continued through the years. John was a unique and amazing man who left a legacy that will influence the north country for generations.


Message from Charmaine Virkler Campany

So sorry for your loss-he was a person that had a huge prescence whenever he walked into the room and he will be well remembered! He gave so much of himself to this county and beyond. Thank you to his loved ones for sharing him. Marcia, I will always have fond memories of the cat you both cared for that lived outside my office window- those little-no big- cat paw prints on my desk blotter always made my day!

Message from Nina Gregory LCGH Aux. President
