I have very fond memories of Herm. He was a kind and gentle soul. Loved the many years of flying with him in the Warped Wings Club. Michelle and I want to express our deepest sympathy to Donna and all of Herm’s family & good friends. He was unforgettable and will be truly missed. God Bless his soul. Mark & Michelle VandeZande

I have wonderful memories of Mr. Grooters, when we all lived near each other on Park Street. I remember his great sense of humor, and his big, easy laugh. Also, we would visit their family when they would camp at the Holland Beach and they would come out to Gun Lake to visit us. Now, as an adult I recognize how hard he worked for his family and cared for his girls. I loved hearing about the epic road trips he and Aunt Donna would take every year. He lived life with great zest and a love for God. I'll remember him fondly.
