Herman Strumpf

Herman Ryan Strumpf, 76, of Osgood passed away Friday, January 26, 2024, in Columbus Indiana. Herman was born on July 9, 1947, in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Herman is the son of Herman N. and June (Streit) Strumpf. Herman was preceded in death by his parents and his brother James.

Herman was an avid traveler and the highlight of all his trips were when he was able to connect with his friends from around the country and beyond.  

Herman enjoyed the outdoors, especially his beautiful farm that he lived upon.  His affinity for his farm was evident through his devotion to its cultivation and conservation of the property.
