Delbert Martin Herman

Delbert Martin Herman, born 6/21/1940, died peacefully on 6/15/18. Delbert was the son of Ruby and James Reagan Herman and was raised in North Little Rock Arkansas, during which time he obtained, under obscure circumstances, the nickname "Butch". He attended North Little Rock High School and then the University of Arkansas, receiving a bachelors in business administration, a law degree, and a life-long enthusiasm for pigs. Upon graduation, Delbert was a first lieutenant in the Army. He was a proud veteran and loved the flag. After his service, Delbert practiced his entire career as a partner in the accounting division of Ernst and Young. Above all, Delbert loved his family; wife Harriet, brothers, James (dec) and wife Sue, Kenneth and wife Pat, son Christopher, daughter, Cynthia, daughter-in-law, Shellie, granddaughter, Ruby Adelaide, and all his nieces and nephews. "Big-D" enjoyed great days swimming, doing the Sunday cross-word, singing, playing golf, eating good food, and general mischief with his family and friends. In his last years, Delbert battled Parkinson's/frontotemporal lobe dementia. Although robbed of his quick wit, he never lost his singing voice or his kind and loving spirit. The family has profound gratitude for all the caregivers who's dedication allowed Delbert to live his life at home with his family in The Woodlands, Texas.
