Herman Moreira

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Herman Moreira, affectionately known as “Mr. Cilantro,” who passed away at the age of 78, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, generosity, and devotion to family.

Originally from Uruguay, Herman was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, beloved brother, uncle, and cherished friend.

Herman was a man with a big heart, a wonderful sense of humor, and a generous spirit. He was hardworking, strong, and always willing to lend a helping hand. His warmth and laughter touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Many will remember Herman by the nickname “Mr. Cilantro,” which originated at his restaurant, Cilantro’s. The school children who frequented the restaurant affectionately gave him this name, and it became a cherished part of his identity and a reminder of the special connections he made in his community.

Herman loved cooking asado and bringing family and friends together around the table. Food was his way of sharing love, celebrating traditions, and creating lasting memories. He also had a passion for polo, but his greatest joy was always his family and the time he spent with those he loved.

Herman is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Laura; his sons, Daniel and Andrew; his five grandchildren; his beloved sister, Corina; his numerous nieces and nephews; and many extended family members and dear friends.

Though his passing leaves a profound void, Herman’s legacy will live on through the family traditions he cherished, the laughter he shared, and the countless lives he touched.

Herman will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
