Hermas was born January 6, 1931 in Eriksdale, MB. He farmed in Deerhorn until 1975 and had a great love for farming and the land. He then worked at various occupations until he retired. He enjoyed fishing, curling, card games, playing guitar and singing, dancing and hockey, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He taught his girls the gift of music and loved our family sing-songs. He overcame some health problems in later years with bravery and dignity. Dad never complained and never had an unkind word about anyone. He was predeceased by his parents Auguste and Eulalie, brothers Jean, Joseph, August, Henry; sister Virginia and Marie. Mass and Prayers will be said on Friday, September 30 at 7:00 p.m. in St. Olaf's Catholic Church in Lundar.

The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at the E.M. Crowe Memorial Hospital for their loving care of both Dad and our family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the E.M. Crowe Memorial Hospital Guild, in care of Gail Holmes, Eriksdale, MB R0C 0W0. His weary hours and days of pain, His troubled nights are past, And in our aching hearts we know, He has found sweet rest at last. Arrangements by: ARNASON FUNERAL HOMES LTD.
