My son, Kyle and I lived next door to Herman, Lavon and their family for more than 30 years. Throughout those years, whether it be working together in our yards, visiting local restaurants together or simply enjoying an afternoon or evening of conversation sitting on the front patio, I realized early-on how much of a premium Herman placed upon three things: God, family......and his Florida Gator and Kentucky Wildcat college basketball teams!

Herman lived each day by the Word of God. Sunday services re-energized him and his love and presence ALWAYS for Lavon, Kathy, Aimee, and Michelle was scripture perfect! I can only imagine the sadness of Aimee and Michelle (whom I watched grow up under the watchful eyes of Herman) missing those daily morning phone calls with their grandfather. Oh how his eyes would light up when that phone rang!

Herman's family extended beyond Jeffords Street and I enjoyed hearing about his family in Kentucky and the love that he had for them. Maybe I'll visit Cynthiana or attend a Sadler reunion someday!

During college basketball season, Herman and I talked Gator/Wildcat basketball all the time. In fact, it was this time every year that we both enjoyed the college basketball season the most.

Finally, Herman and Lavon were both blessed to have Kathy by their side at their most needy times. And such love only validated what I already learned from Herman. Good parents live forever. And in the lives of Herman Sadler's family, Herman's Godliness is immortal.

God bless Herman and his families in Florida, Texas, Colorado and Kentucky. I have truly been blessed by being so fortunate to have Herman Sadler a part of my life. I will truly miss our frequent contact with each other. I will truly miss you.

In prayer,
Rick Misenti

Our dear Grandpa Sadler. He will forever be missed. There is so much to say about him I do not know where to begin. He took great care of me since birth. More like a mother than grandfather. He was an extraordinary champion of women, a feminist for sure. He cheered me on, had complete confidence in all his 'girls'. I never would have finished college much less grad school without him. He lent his time generously, helping anyone he could with his vast handy skills. He was a skilled electrician with an extraordinary work ethic, adored college basketball, Coney Dogs, boating, and his dog Emma. Emma never touched the floor and is 'well-fed'. He never left Grandma's side in the most difficult of times. He loved his church community. He opened the doors of his home readily and welcomed everyone. He held Thanksgiving dinners for our friends of friends who wanted to experience an American Thanksgiving, he made everyone feel like family. He rooted for the underdog, and was angered at injustice. He was certainly opinionated but fair, and knew that the value of a good friend rose above an opinion. Just open arms to everyone. This is love. Just unconditional love and acceptance. That is his legacy. May you rest in peace grandpa, 'our sunshine'.

The way he signed every card... XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO......

I remember when I dinged his brand new boat on the dock. I felt terrible about it and the rest of the day Herman made sure that I knew he didn't care about the boat. Herman just wanted everyone to feel comfortable.

He was always looking for ways to help others. Herman was the best of us and I will try to continue that helping tradition in his honor.

in honor of Herman.

Herman was indeed the Mayor of Jeffords and made sure as we pulled up to our new home across the street from them, that we were welcomed, gave us the low-down on the neighborhood and made us feel so special as neighbors. He made fast friends with my husband Nick and they both spoke the same "electrician" language and worked on many projects together.

He and Levon were alway so helpful and our dog Louie gained a few pounds during the daily visits for treats and anything else he could scarf down from Herman.

He was always so helpful and was responsible for getting me a job at BayCare when he learned I was looking. He said, "Just give me your resume and my daughter, Kathy will give you a job." I laughed and thought, he's the Mayor of Jeffords, what can it hurt...I've been employed with BayCare over 4 years now and thank him everyday for his persistence and love he showed me, and expected nothing in return. There was Devine intervention in everything he did.

Once I learned that the Kentucky boy loved Banana pudding, I always tried to make him some for special occasions. From painting houses, pool and pizza parties we all became family...Uncle Billy was a welcomed site when he came down for visits from Kentucky.

From day one of meeting Herman, I knew he was special. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Several years ago Kim Brady Aunt Christine and I few to have vacation time with Uncle Herman and Aunt Lavonne. We had wonderful family time. I will never forget his driving his boat through a waterway that had houses on each side. Lady in yard of one of the houses yelled slow down...he didn’t. ❤️ So blessed to have been his niece. He felt more like my Grandfather. We loved him so very much and will miss him dearly.
