Marvin Herskind of Fort Morgan passed away on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

At his request, there will not be any services.

One of the Best

Just a simple tractor with parts of every kind

No fenders, lights of classy trim,

But my father didn’t mind.

For seventy years he rode the fields

Despite the sultry season.

To Dad the growing season was just plain working fun.

He has planted crops and flowers

And an orchard full of trees.

If we wasn’t on his tractor

He was weeding on his knees.

Dad loves to see things grow

And he shares just all he can.

He has always been that kind of guy.

All fathers should be that kind of man.
