Predeceased by his parents and three sisters. Herb will be remembered and missed by his nieces and nephews.
Whether you know him as Dad, Gramps, Grandpa, Pobi, Uncle Herbie, Sarge, Staff or Friend, nobody knew or loved him more than his wife. Herb committed his life to his family, always providing a safe place to land.
