Herman Appel Obituary

My deepest symapathy for the sad loss of our friend Herman. I was a friend of Herman's and knew him for tha last 10 years. We met through work(I do all of the flooring for Equity Group) and it was usually Herman who would meet me to walk through a property that needed new flooring. The first few years he was very shy, and would kick at the dirt with his hands in his pockets, while looking down in a bashful manner. Later when he came out of his shell, our frienddship bloomed. We could talk for hours about anything....working on farms, the last movie we had seen, work stuff etc. You never know how precious life is until someone you care about is taken from you. And, like the book and movie "Five People You Meet in Heaven" some people cross our paths and they make significant profound impacts on our lives. Herman with his kind ways really had an impact on me. The last time I saw Herman he said the kindest things to me. It was like he could tell that I was feeling really bad about myself and insecure, and he made me smile and showered me with compliments. I got through the day because of his kind and gentle words. I didn't know that it would be the last time I would see him. Just know that your pain and loss is shared with so many, many people that cared, loved and adored our Herman. He touched so many people...everyday! Love you Herman!!

Sincerely,

Kerri Runyan

HERMAN AND I WERE LIKE FAMILY. HE WAS LIKE A SON TO ME. WE WORKED TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME AND I WAS YOUR SOUNDING BOARD. HERMAN I AM GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH. EVEN WHEN YOU NO LONGER WORKED AT THE HOTEL ANY MORE, YOU WOULD STOP BY TO SEE ME. YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE

AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY NOW.



LOVE YOU

My sympathy to the family whom I.ve known for many years. God Bless

I will remember Herman Appel as a kind, soft spoken, generous man. We shared a love for wolves. He once had a Malamute and I once had a Husky and we would share stories about them. I will alway remember his smile. To his family I offer my deepest sympathy for your lost. I love you and miss you Herman and I will think of you always.
