Herman spent his younger years helping his mother on the farm and working for neighbours. Herman attended school in Jedburgh, also attending high school in Ituna, and receiving his post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

Herman had a great love of the outdoors, including fishing, hunting, camping, and gardening. He also loved driving across Canada and the USA with Deanna on their many adventures.
In 2000, the family pulled up stakes in Regina and moved to Theodore to be closer to the outdoors and family. In Herman’s later years, he enjoyed watching his two favourite teams on TV, the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Blue Jays, and discussing the outcome with his oldest brother, August.
