Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of Mr. Hervey. It is obvious he lived his life to the fullest and truly loved and served his family and country. What a blessing and legacy he leaves for Aggies everywhere!
Bob and family, I send you my deepest condolences on the passing of your father. I remember him well and know that he’s resting in a better place. Sincerely, Mary Ellen
dick and bob,i was sorry to hear about your dad. I haven’t seen you or your dad in many years though I spoke to your father on occasion. I am eternally grateful to him because he along with mr weirus and mr stark wrote letters that enabled me to borrow the money to attend which my parents didn’t pay for and which I couldn’t otherwise borrow because my parents were affluent by the government calculation. so your father made it possible for me to attend college. I bet https://gateway.frontrunnerpro.com/book-of-memories/1808573/Hervey-James/donation.phpyour didn’t know this history. Don McCrory
Dick was a wonderful man, Aggie, friend, an innovator, and Aggie historian. We all share your loss and will miss him whenever we are on campus or think about our AFS experiences with him.
