Herman attended Sweet Briar School and spent his entire life on the dairy, beef, and grain farm.
On Herman’s twenty-first birthday he married the love of his life, Rose Marie (Klein) Wolf.
He enjoyed a good life focused on operating the family farm. Plus sharing good times with family and friends by traveling, playing cards, and visiting. In his quiet times he enjoyed reading western novels, playing on his iPad, and after retirement helping with farm chores until October 2019 (He always said he was now the helper, not the boss!).
