Herm has been an important part of our lives for a very long time such that we consider him family. During his last days, he suffered excruciating pain from a broken hip. No one wants to say goodbye, but watching his suffering was so very difficult.
After fighting a tough battle, finishing his earthly business, he was finally called home. His life was long and productive so now he has begun a heavenly adventure in paradise.
Herm will be greatly missed, but we look forward to meeting again when we all have new, healthy bodies and no burdensome worries. What fun to continue our conversations and adventures in heaven. Know he will be one of those who meets and greets us when we arrive.
Thus, no goodbyes just see you later, Friend.
For Eileen who introduced us to Herm. She has been supporting the Hammers since Mostek times.
BUTTERFLY KISSES
by John F Connor
Don't CRY for me, please don't be sad,
Hold on to the memories of the times we all had,
Don't dwell on dark thoughts, HOLD on tight to your wishes,
Sending you special hugs and butterfly kisses.
I walk BESIDE you, I am there all day long,
I am right here, but you think I am gone,
You don't see me, BUT I can see you,
Whatever the problems, I will help you get through.
I am the WIND in your hair, the sand in your toes,
Butterfly KISSES that you feel on your nose,
I am with you at SUNRISE and in SUNSET,
But you can't see me is my one regret.
I SIT right beside you when you are sad,
As you look through the photos of times we all had.
I watch you SLEEPING, I hold you so tight,
Before I go, I kiss you goodnight.
I will watch over you from HEAVEN above,
Forever, you will be my true love.
Hold on to your DREAMS and all your wishes,
Sending you special hugs and butterfly kisses.

Herm loved to fly small planes. Back in the 1980’s he took a good friend of mine Dave and myself for a plane ride along the front range. It was mid afternoon on a sunny day. If you have lived long enough in Colorado you realize that every afternoon the wind comes up as the heat rises on the plains. Herm exclaimed, “Isn’t this just wonderful!” As his plane would quickly rise 300 feet and then fall 300 feet….over and over! I immediately began praying to God to allow me to be on solid ground. Finally, we landed and upon disembarking the plane Herm exclaimed “I am never taking you on a plane again. You are ridiculous!” To which I replied “Good! That’s why God gave us two feet and no wings.” You’re in my heart Herm.

Dearest Eileen and family,
Our family is so deeply saddened by Herm’s passing. We were so deeply blessed to get to visit Herm and you. Not just in the hospital but also at your home on several occasions. Eileen you totally made us feel welcome. Eileen, you were so kind in how you realized Herm and Chris’s close relationship. Herm was like a father to Chris. Herm I know you are reading this saying “Oh no” but the next few things I write are totally true. Herm you taught Chris how to be a man. A good man who protects his family and loves us unconditionally. Chris is mannered, loving and cares so deeply. You helped a little boy in a set of circumstances that were absolutely horrific and you helped him through them. You taught Chris to put The Hawley girls first always and he does. You made our lives so blessed by simply caring and guiding. We will never forget the activities you attended with us. We had lots of laughs with you. Herm we all will miss you deeply but we know you’ll be guiding us in everything we do. Your mantra of “ The devil is in the details will stay permanently in our minds. We love you, we will continue to love on Eileen. She is a fine lady and a gift to us as well. We know the angels came to greet you and whisked you to paradise. May perpetual light shine upon you. May you and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace.
The Hawley girls, Laura Jean, Alex and Casey and of course Chris

Herm was a man of great character and honor. When you went to Herm with a question, you would always get an honest answer, and that is what him a great attorney. He and Eileen loved worldwide traveling and had many adventures together to share with their family when they arrived home. Herm was true to his country, loved flying, and is now flying his plane with the angels in Heaven.

Herm was such an intelligent, thoughtful, caring man. He was always fun to talk to. His story about flying to Cheyenne, WY and the trouble he had finding the airport always made us laugh! He was such a blessing to Eileen, Michelle, Teresa, Janine and all of the grandchildren. I feel fortunate I was able to share a pot of tea with Herm and Eileen in early April and get one last hug from this sweet man! Herman, you will be missed by all who knew you. Paul and I would like to extend our condolences to the family. All our love, Terri and Paul Haag & family
