Herman was a wonderful family friend during the 1960's-1970's when I was growing up. He worked with my grandfather Edward Leng at BCBS. I remember going to the beach together and Herman would tag along with our entire family. We fly the bat kites together and he took a picture of me when I was about 7 years old that I am putting away in my bible now. It's one of the only photographs I have of me growing up. Beautiful shot with the ocean in the background. It is on my Facebook page. Today I am 54 year's old and I have worked my career as a professional photographer. I am sorry to see that he has passed away. I live in the Asheville area now and have not been home to see family for the past 8 years. I felt like God reminded me rather quickly Herman's last name a few days ago and it surprised me to remember it. He was always smiling and very helpful in any situation. Herman never had limitations and I never heard him complain. My grandparents that he was so close to passed away back in 1992. I am thankful to God that Herman was involved in our family. His passion for photography is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life too. God be with you all, Gregory Hugh Leng
