Herman was born on April 19, 1924 in Bendena, KS, to Herman L. and Moretta (Spencer) Kuhnert. He married Irene Reder on September 6, 1943 in Bakersfield, CA while Mr. Kuhnert was serving with the 27th Anti-Aircraft Battalion, Ft. Bliss, TX. He was eventually transferred to Camp Irwin, CA and was sent to Europe during World War II and served in England, Holland and Germany. He saw his most intense combat during the Battle of the Bulge in 1943 and 1944. His unit was separated from American Forces behind German lines. He was eventually discharged from U.S. Army in 1946. After returning to civilian life Mr. Kuhnert was employed by Pillsbury Mills in Atchison, KS and eventually purchased a farm in the Spring Grove community in 1950. He started a farming career in the Troy area until 1961. He truly found his calling shortly thereafter and began a sales career in the agriculture and oil business, which he pursued until his retirement in 1978. He was founder and owner of H & B Supply, Inc., in Temple, TX in February 1977. H & B focused on the lubricant and filter market in Texas and eventually expanded to cover the entire state of Texas as well as surrounding states.
