Michael Nordsten wrote a sympathy message

“I am saddened to hear of Hershel's death. I worked with Hershel from 1995 to 1998 when i was a teacher and athletic director at Chief Joseph Middle School in Richland. Hershel supported me and gave me encouragment at every step. When i began applying for administrative positions in 2003, Hershel wrote me a letter of recommendation. I last saw him about 10 years ago when i stopped by his house in Horn Rapids. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time”
