Herman has had a rented duplex home in a building in Murray Hill for more than 50 years. When he and appointed decorator changed the apartment’s interior after his partner passed, Herman’s transition and journey as a single man was reflected in the changes.

Herman has commented that his family, close friends, and home have made his life joyous and fulfilled, and that his father’s fear that he would not have anyone to look after him in his old age was misplaced.
