As a very young man, Herb learned to work hard to take care of his growing family, over the years he was employed by The Home Center, Ed Younker, Danhearts Feedstore, Washington County roads and he farmed the place he called home for most of his life.
Herb was a simple man with a heart of gold who never met a stranger. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, old westerns and his old country music. Even in his final days he was singing along with Johnny Cash, tapping his hand to the beat. However, Herb’s favorite thing was spending time with his family. If you know anything about this family, you’ll know there was always family lunch on Sundays. There was always food on the stove our entire lives, regardless of what was happening in the world, we could always come together at Grandma and Pap’s. He will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him best.
