So very sorry
Ron was very saddened when we got the call. So many stories of childhoods spent together. We send our heartfelt sympathies to the entire family. Ron and Nancy Kanienberg
Hero of our country
Rest in paradise friend! Although we never met in person, only on words with friends, I enjoyed hearing about your wife, grandchildren & even your spoiled dog Charlie. I will miss you terribly as will everyone that knew you, you had touched. I will miss your humor and your stories. I’m relieved you’re not suffering any more.
Best,
Missy Shelton – Murray
Submariner, Rest You Oars
We are thankful for Gary’s service in submariners and what it meant to him. The Naval Submarine League appreciates his wish to be remembered through our organization and we honor his memory. The NSL is a 501 c 3 organization with a mission to educate the public about the importance of submarines to the national defense.
Service to our country.
Gary and I have been cousins for over 70 years and only enjoyed each other at family picnics and other family get togethers. We both in the last 10 years had hope to share some beers and talk about out military days during the Vietnam War. I always appreciated his service being in a sub and he appreciate mine as a Marine. The beers I drink in the future will have thoughts of Gary. Thank You, Gary for your service and welcome home.
Condolences to your family
Sending prayers to your family is this trying time.

Wit and Good Humor
Gary was gifted with a great sense of dry wit and good humor. I am thankful he shared those gifts with so many at Franciscan Media. I will forever think of Gary at the mention of a submarine! Thankful for his service, always. Gone but not forgotten. Continued prayers for the Herrmann family.
Our condolences
Kathy and Family – our condolences and you are in our prayers.
From a USS STONEWALL JACKSON Fellow Crewmember
My name is Ray Kuryla. I served aboard the STONEWALL JACKSON after Gary did. Crewmembers of a submarine, even if they did not serve aboard at the same time, still have a close bond. I am saddened to have read about the passing of Gary. My sincere condolences to the family. Sailor, rest your oar.
Prayers
So sorry to hear of Gary’s passing, I enjoyed working with him at Xerox. His family is in my thoughts and prayers
Sorry for your loss
My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Gary Herrman STS2(SS). I did not know Gary personally, but rode the same submarine a few years after he did. May he rest in peace.

My Friend and Shipmate
Our most sincere condolences to Kathy and family at Gary’s passing. We remember him and Kathy with great fondness and friendship and wish for all the family comfort and peace in knowing Gary was a contributor to life, not a taker, and that he was a true patriot and American hero. He and his humor and friendship over the years will be truly missed. He was a great friend and shipmate. God bless you all and give you peace.
