Mr. Ender is survived by his wife of 39 years Angie Ender of Manteca. His children are Erika Pine of Manteca and Paul Ender and his wife Tanisha of Manteca. He was blessed by three grandchildren, Baylee Pine, Brandon Pine and Khashari Nguyen, all of Manteca.

Herman was in sales for OHI of Stockton for over 20 years selling stainless steel fabrications. He was a hard working man who was always dedicated to his clients as well as his company. He was a member of the Men’s Club of Manteca. He was an avid golfer as he enjoyed his time on the greens or socializing with friends in the club house. He enjoyed a great football game only if it involved his San Francisco 49ers. Traveling with Herman was always a great adventure; he loved to travel to local casinos searching for the best buffet around town. Being a Grandpa or Papa as his grandchildren called him was the best thing that ever happened to him. His love for his special little grandchildren was unconditional. His joy was to spoil them and take them whereever they wanted to go. Some of his special trips with his grandchildren included Disneyland, Hawaii and Tahoe. He was a true family man, always caring about others, with a big heart.

Mr. Ender’s services are being handled by P.L. Fry & Son Funeral Home of Manteca. A Rosary/Mass service will be held at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at 1 p.m. on Wednesday February 10, 2010. He will be laid to rest at St. John’s Catholic Cemetery. An online guest book is available for special messages and condolences at www.plfryandson.com
