One of the most talanted men I,ve ever had the privlage of knowing. Everything he touched turned to gold. I worked with him at “Herschels Custom Window Tint” in Palatka FL. in the early 90′s, 91 or 92 I think. We work together to add car stereo to his already successful window tint business. I am very sorry to hear about this. He will be missed, not only in the window tint world. When you get to the next world, You show them how it’s done.

I first met Herschel in 1996 when CHB sent me down to Florida to help show him “the ropes” to a new anchoring system. Between his film knowledge and sailing skills the man knew plenty about ropes. We worked together in D.C. and when he came up to NYC. and had a few fun nights and a lot of long days. And I want to thank him for his service to his country in and out of uniform. My thoughts are with him and his family. I’d like to finish with a quote I found from Oliver Wendell Homes “We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but sail we must and not drift nor anchor.” Good sailing Herschel

Herschel hired me in 2006 when he worked for CHB Industries in New York. Herschel’s experience and technical knowledge with not only window film, but security anchoring is second to none. Herschel always shared his knowledge with me and I am thankful that I met him and was able to work with him. All who know Herschel know that he is a unique person, a real character and a man’s man. I as well as his old crew are very sad of the news of Herschel’s health and our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family…

I have had the pleasure over working with Herschel on several occasions throught the years. There is no doubt that this a temendously talented man. In fact, he is THE most talented installers that I have worked with in my 23 years in the industry!!! Hanging film is not an ego contest, it is a business. Herschel, my friend, you have handled the most demanding installations that anyone could ever imagine with the greatest professionalism and dededication that anyone could even imagine. You are truly a hero to us all to have achieved what you have!!! You deserve every peaceful content that the lake, the house and your family will bring you! You have indeed done well!! God be with you!!

Condolences to Herschel Johnson. I would not have thought of communicating to our installers the risk of cancer from solar exposure when applying window film.. In respect of Herschel, I will convey his exact words when communicating this to installers: "Throw on some sunscreen, dumbass.” “Everyone thinks it won’t happen to them."

Herschel was a customer of mine for years and is still a good friend. The news of his situiation is a shock since Herschel always seemed invulnerable to any damage personally. I can only hope the diagnosis is wrong and if anyone can beat it, Herschel will be the one. Go with God, either way.

I met Herschel at his shop in Palatka a couple of months ago. He is one fantastic human being! I’m looking forward to meeting up with him again. I could tell he is good people! Hang in there my friend!
