He was born in Phippsburg, Feb. 20, 1939, the son of Raymond C. and Elsie E. Smith Brown. He was a graduate of Morse High School.
Herman was first and foremost a lobsterman from the age of 10. He was also an accomplished industrial draftsman and designer and worked in that capacity for such companies as BIW and Wright-Pierce in his home state of Maine as well as working in Seattle, WA, Colorado, Washington state and Louisiana designing water systems.
Herman’s first love was the sea and lobstering. His rugged little boat “Gail Warning” was a familiar and welcomed sight on the waters around Cundy’s Harbor and the islands of Harpswell. He and his boat will be very sadly missed.
Herman was a member of the West Point Community Church in Phippsburg.
He is survived by his mother Elsie E. Brown of Brunswick; as well as the love of his life, Claudette Minnicozi of West Cundy’s Point, three sisters, Juanita Hersom of Brunswick, Joanne Brown of Cundy’s Harbor and Mary Ellen Saunders and her husband, Charles of Cundy’s Harbor, several nieces, nephews and countless friends.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Cundy’s Harbor Church of the Nazarene. Memorial contributions may be made to Pine Grove Community Church, P.O. Box 156, Sebasco Estates, ME 04565. For those unable to attend, condolences to the family may be expressed at www.brackettfuneralhome.c om.
