He was the son of the late Frank and Dorathea Hamann (Strackbein); loving husband of the late Ilene May (Phillips) Hamann; dearly loved father of Peggy (Jerry) Adams, and Wally (Lynn) Hamann; much loved grandpa of Stephanie (Bob) Harris, Eric (Ann) Adams, Tate (Minda) Hamann and the late Suzanne Ilene Adams; treasured farm papa (great-grandpa) of Bailey (Josh) Shore; Eric (Courtney) Harris; Jack, Grace, and Luke Adams; and Aila and Asher Hamann; adored great-great-farm papa to Matthew and Benjamin Shore; dear brother of Pauline (Herman) Fedderson, Donald (Lorna), and the late Richard (Donna) Hamann; uncle, great-uncle, Iowa farmer, Gideon, shepherd and friend to many — including a recent blessing, Marge Chapie, who made him feel loved every day as she cared for him.

When asked, “How are you?” Herald always replied, “Blessed.” All who knew him felt the same to have had him in their lives…Blessed.
