Herb was the owner of an auto repair shop for 25 years. Some of Herb’s favorite ways to spend time were with his family, fishing on the lake and wood working. Herb enjoyed the outdoors and would spend much of his time visiting the Booker T. Washington National Park and Blue Bird Trail with Marilyn. His love of the outdoors led him to become a Master Naturalist of the BRFAL Division.
A private memorial service will be held.
