Herb loved traveling and fishing with his friends- he was a true Fisherman. He was known for his witty humor and enjoyed making people laugh- some of his humor was OK and some was bad.
Herb loved his two granddaughters and looked forward to the times they came to see him running down the long hall screaming, “Hi Papa.” Herb beamed when he picked the girls up from school, because they always had such big smiles on their faces after spotting their Papa.
