Aunt Delores, Melanie and I are sorry we were not able to make the services. Please know that you, Patrice and Greg will be in our thoughts and prayers. I will always remember all the great trips we took together. I can still hear Uncle Herchel saying "Come on A.D.!" I know he and mom are reliving all the great times we had together. God Bless. Kevin, Melanie, Megan & Joshua

Delores:just in case I dont get to see you at the visitation or at St. Judes,I just want you to know how deeply I feel about Hersh; He was one of the first to give me a break when I got here, we remained good friends and he had my ultimate respect at the consumate professional that he was. He had fun with us and could give us the "look" when Tommy said something that Tommy thought was funny. It was and is in mind, one of the great things I will always remember about him. Honest, fair, demanding and on the money at all times. I took the liberty of doing a little eulogy on the air this morning as I am wont to do with my special friends. I havea recording of it, and if you should ever feel up to it, I will put it on a c.d. for you. I hope to see you soon.. Annette worked with Hersh when she was at the Enterprise. You are in our prayers. al& annette
