My heartfelt condolences to the Steffens family. In March of 2014 ,I, Cecile, nominated Herman as the Exeter Times-advocate’s featured volunteer for National Volunteer Week. Herman was an inspiring, upbeat enthusiastic ,faith filled man who volunteered tirelessly in his community which included initiating the annual Exeter walk at Mc Naughton Park for Huntington’s Disease, which means a lot to the entire’ Muller family’ ,and others in the community who have loved ones affected by this disease. In 2014 he volunteered for One Care ,the Exeter Villa, Habitat for Humanity, Precious Blood church (his church) and he helped build homes in El Salvador. Herman supported both individuals and communities at large due to his continual volunteer work. God Bless Herman for all his great deeds ! A truly inspiring man .

Herman was such a kindhearted and funny man. I still fondly remember him playing a trick on me when I was a child—he “stole” my nose with his thumb trick. It’s a memory I’ve shared with my own children, and one that still makes us giggle.
