My Grandaddy,

By Emily Dorothy Dewberry

MY CHEERLEADER W

hether you’re male or female, young or old, or know absolutely nothing about cheerleading, the name “Herkie” sounds familiar.

He’s been known as “Mr. Cheerleader” and the “Father of Modern Cheerleading.” He’s the man who holds the patent on the cheerleading pompon, the man who developed and made the“Spirit Stick” famous, and the creator of the iconic “Herkie Jump.” However, when I look at Lawrence Russell Herkimer, I see my Granddaddy Herkie.

To me, Granddaddy Herkie was more than just a man who built the cheerleading empire we recognize today as the National Cheerleaders Association; he was the man who would light up with an enormous smile when I walked through the door. He was the man who would play board games with me when he was more than ready to go to sleep.

He was an encourager, a humorist, a giver and a servant-hearted man who believed that everyone had potential if they worked hard and believed in themselves. He was a man who showed an unconditional love for me, but most importantly, he was a man of example of how to share unconditional love for everyone.

I could tell you Granddaddy Herkie’s life story; the story of a man who lived the American dream and who provided the best summer job in America as a cheer and dance instructor, but my Granddaddy Herkie left more than just a cheerleading legacy; he left a testament for a way of life. He was a pioneer that saw beyond the surface and saw true passions of individuals. He saw past gender, race and sexuality. He believed in many when they couldn’t see it themselves. He gave responsibility to young adults and taught them to push themselves to be their absolute best. Granddaddy Herkie was a beacon of hope and a light to those surrounding him. He inspired and created hundreds of thousands of legacies for those he worked with and those who attended NCA/NDA camps and events. He did more than create a business, he created a lifestyle for all of us to follow.

In the last year of Granddaddy Herkie’s life, I learned more about my family and myself than I ever thought imaginable. I learned that no matter the circumstances, if you do your best everyday, laugh and are optimistic, then you are living your life to the absolute fullest. I truly realized that it’s the little things in life that you will cherish the most. Whether we were planning our day around Wheel of Fortune, making an effort to leave room after dinner for coffee ice cream, spending the day on a putting green, playing Uno too many times to count, or even putting a puzzle together, I learned that joy, positivity and happiness will conquer all.
