Herman Curtis Hodges, 86, of Orlando Florida, passed peacefully January 4, 2015.

He is survived by his wife Anne, and four lucky daughters: Stephanie, Pamela, Anne-Marie, and Jennifer, six phenomenal grandchildren and 7 great grand kids.

Herman was a gifted entrepreneur whom influenced many with his unrivaled work ethic, intelligence and boundless generosity.

Surrounded by nature, he was most at ease: gardening, golfing, hunting, or simply rocking porch side to bird song.

He raised his girls to love and appreciate music, providing inspirations from Count Basie to Bach; Chopin to Ella Fitzgerald.

A loyal and dedicated husband, he loved and cherished his wife of sixty three years--his Anne E Bell.

May our outstanding Dad continue to enrich and inspire the lives in this next new world. May he flourish in peace.
