Last Friday I received the sad news from Herman's family that he has passed away on Tuesday last week after several operations.
He has been a good friend and colleague to me and will be sadly missed.
"Don't mourn when I am dead
I am not really dead, you know
it is my body that's lying there
I will only be dead, once you've forgotten me."

to Herman's family.
I remember the good talks with Herman at different Powwows. He was not only a great colleague, but also a good friend. It's a shame that he is no longer among us.

Herman was a regular at the Düsseldorf Powwows - we'll miss him.

Herman had worked for some time in Düsseldorf many years back and it was at one of Klaus Herrmann's Powwows there that I first met him. We had both worked in marketing as 'foreigners in Germany' and consequently had a lot to tales to exchange.
He also went on to attend Powwows in Berlin. In fact I believe that he attended quite a few Powwows/conferences (e.g. Cracow) and was probably pretty well-known across the community.
A straight-talking and charming guy with a pleasant droll sense of humour who people were always pleased to see, be it 'virtually' or in person.
I shall certainly miss our chats and am deeply saddened to see a good man called before his time.
My deepest sympathies to his family.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Herman a little at the Krakow and Budapest conferences and enjoyed his company and the benefit of his experience.
Thank you Brigit for letting us know.

| May you rest in peace, old friend | Mar 31, 2010 |
... and my sincerest condolences to Herman's family.
My experience is basically the same as Chris's - I first met Herman in Düsseldorf some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations ever since.
We'll miss you and your unmatched sense of humour!

| My deepest sympathy goes out to his family | Mar 31, 2010 |
I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with him in Krakow, and again experienced the pleasure of his company at the conference in Edinburgh.
I am sure he will be sadly missed among the translator community.

We are sad to hear this.
We met him in Krakow and Budapest and enjoyed his company very much.
He had wit and depth and was unusually friendly.

SITE LOCALIZER | Herman was always willing to go the extra mile | Mar 31, 2010 |
I think Herman enjoyed the benefits of combining the virtual and the real translators world. I've met him at several venues. I thankfully used his hospitality by staying the night at his home when there was a powwow around his home place and he stayed the night at my home. Over a beer or by phone we discussed many a thing like CATs, grammar problems, photography ... you name it. The translators world really was important to him and in every aspect he was willing to go the extra mile.
