Farewell to a dear friend

It is with heavy hearts that we share with you that Al Hemman of Hemman Winery in Brazeau has passed away. Al has not been well for several months now so it was not a surprise for the family. Our deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

Al and Dorothy have supported the MRHA as our biggest Perry County advocates from the beginning of Beth's meetings almost 4 years ago. They rarely missed a meeting, and you could count on them to be at every event. Al was soft spoken but enthusiastic about wine making and his beloved East Perry County, we'll all miss his great stories.

Steve & Ellen Frye and Lynda Lorenz will be attending tonight's visitation and sharing the MRHA's condolences. Cards may be sent to:

Mrs. Dorothy Hemman & Family
13022 Hwy C
Brazeau, MO 63737

Al's funeral service will be held tomorrow at Salem Lutheran Church in Farrar, just up the hill from Steve and Ellen's B&B.

If you have any questions, let Lisa or Tish know. Thanks.
