To the entire Herr family, I offer my sincere condolences over James’ passing. I got to know him through my affiliation with the Lancaster Muzzle Loading Rifle Association and enjoyed my many conversations with him especially when we talked about muzzle loaders and US history. James will be missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
