This is really sad news Hermon was a real great guy

Just spoken with a friend of his who told me that he had gone into Hospital to have a leg amputated and died from complications resulting from this operation.

Hermon at People's Records in Detroit not long before the fire and flooding that brought about the move to Woodward. He was there to design and paint all the signage outside the shop. Much of his work can still be seen around Detroit.
