RIP Daddy … sadly missed ?
To the Family of Herman L. White:
Herman worked as a driver for Cohen & Powell for many years. What a fine fine fine
gentlemen he was. I am now 69 years old. I remember Herman was suppose to report to
work one morning very early. My Dad received a call from Herman, saying that he couldnt make it to work. He had an ankle problem from an old high school injury. Herman had the greatest smile and a loving wife.
I know that was many many years ago, but I will not ever forget him.
May he rest in peace.
Warmest regards
David & Fran Cohen
