Fred taught Industrial Arts in Howard for two years and in White for one year, then moved his family to Tyndall where he sold Moorman's Feed. In 1983, Fred started The Ole Bull Shed, which he owned and operated until 2004. Fred loved music and played in several bands, including his own "Freddie's Combo." He was a member of the Tyndall Accordion Club and was the proud "senior" member of the Bon Homme High School Bohemian Band. He and Thelma taught dance lessons for many years, and he also enjoyed playing cards, especially pinochle. Fred could fix anything, and enjoyed restoring antique Model A cars, which they took on trips across the U.S. with other Model A enthusiasts. He had served on the Tyndall City Council and was a member of the Czech Heritage Society. Fred's final evening was spent playing his accordion at a polka mass at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church and also at Beseda Hall in Tabor - doing his favorite thing in the company of family and friends. He died on Saturday, February 2, 2008 at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton at the age of 66 years, 5 months and 9 days.

Grateful to have shared Fred's life are his wife, Thelma, of Tyndall; daughter Sandy (Mike) Slama of Tabor; son Keith (Tammy) Koupal of Kearney, Nebraska; six grandchildren: Ashley, Mallory, Laura, Joey, Dante and Medora; one sister, Edie (Joe) Sadler of Brandon; and mother-in-law Rose Cudley of Tyndall.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Laddie L. and Rose Koupal, and his father-in-law, Adolph Cudley.

The family would like memorials to be directed to the Bon Homme High School Bohemian Band for the promotion of the accordion and our Czech music.

Visitation will be Tuesday, November 12, 2019 from 5 - 7 PM at United Methodist Church in Geddes with prayer service at 7:00 PM. Arrangements by Koehn Bros. Funeral Home in Armour.

Norman Floyd Hermanek was born on December 8, 1925 in Geddes, SD, and passed away on November 10, 2019, at the Wagner Good Samaritan Center at the age of 93. He was the only son of four children blessed to Charles and Mary (Varilek) Hermanek.
Norman attended Goose Lake Country School and graduated at the age of 16 from Geddes High School in 1942. In 1945, he traveled by train to Minneapolis for his military physical. Since he was the only son and the war was ending, he did not have to serve. He returned to the farm.

Norman met Bernice Lawyer at a dance in Lake Andes in 1943. They were united in marriage June 20, 1948 a Sunday evening at the Geddes Methodist Church. Norman and Bernice made their home east of Geddes on a farm for over 44 years. In 1992, they retired from farming and moved to Geddes. Two children were born to this union.

Norman and Bernice started square dance lessons in Pickstown, SD in 1956, which led to over 40 years of dancing, but 38 of those years were doing what he loved best, being a square dance caller. He called all over South Dakota and 8 other states including Hawaii, California, and Washington. He called at 5 National Square Dance conventions attended by thousands of dancers. He served as the President of the South Dakota Square Dance Association and the Geddes Do Si Do Club. His love of music also came through when he played his accordion, organ, and through song. He was a member of the Geddes Methodist Church serving on its Board of Directors for several years. He also served on the Geddes Farmers Elevator board. After his retirement from the farm, he worked for the City of Geddes in Maintenance for over 15 years, and both he and his wife took care of mowing and the upkeep of the Pleasant Lawn Cemetery in Geddes for several years. His greatest love and hobby was woodworking, which he did right up to this past summer. He made 3 roll top desks, 20 little red wagons, tables, checkerboards, lamps, children rockers and tables, and numerous bowls. Everything was made out of scrap wood. His greatest joy were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. So appreciative of anyone who stopped to visit with him.

Thankful for sharing in his life is his son, Raymond (Brenda) Hermanek of Lake Andes, SD; daughter, Marcia (David) Honomichl of Wagner, SD; 5 grandchildren - Wendy (Cory) Martin of Rapid City, SD - Claire and Grace; Wyatt (Tonya) Honomichl of Sioux Falls, SD - Tyler and Emma; Jon (Amanda) Hermanek of Platte, SD- Emersyn, Chance, and Hayes; Rachel (Nick) Bowman of Mitchell, SD – Connor, Hayley, twins Jace & Jade; Jared Hermanek and friend, Breanna of Armour, SD; sister-in-law, Bonnie Myers of Rapid City, SD and several nephews and nieces.
