George was a very witty and loving person. He never met a stranger. If you talked with him, you had better be an avid sports fan. The Kentucky Derby and the Titans were at the top of his list. He sat up all through the Super Bowl and was cheering with the rest of us.
Mr. Herrmann was raised of the Catholic faith. He will be buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Murfreesboro, TN at a later date.
