Herman was born on September 27, 1931, in Bad Boll, Germany, to Otto and Margaretha Allmendinger. Herman grew up in Germany and in 1950, moved to the United States where he would build a life defined by dedication, service, and deep love for his family.


Herman proudly served in the United States Army, retiring as a Command Sergeant Major after 22 years of active duty. Following his military career, he continued his strong work ethic as a plant manager and Chief of Human Resources at National Standard. In retirement, he returned to one of his greatest passions-fishing and ranching.


A devoted and life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Herman was deeply involved in his local post, serving as Commander of VFW Post 1843. In recognition of his leadership and service, he was honored numerous times as an All-American Commander which culminated in him being named Mr. VFW.


On November 23, 1955, Herman married the love of his life, Inge Richter, in Hennebach, Germany. Together they built a life centered on family, hard work, and shared values.


Herman had a lifelong love of farming and fishing, but above all, he cherished time with his family. He will be remembered for his strength, dedication, and the steady presence he provided to those who knew and loved him.

Herman is preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, Debbie Fry and his brother, Otto Allmendinger.


Herman is survived by his wife, Inge Allmendinger; his son, Perry Allmendinger and wife Staci; his grandchildren, Trevor Fry and wife Stephanie, Tori Allmendinger, Kendrick Allmendinger, and Jacqueline Allmendinger; and his great-grandchildren, Lucas and Easton Fry, along with a loving extended family.



The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered love, support, and prayers during this time.
