My Dearest and Closest Friend Herb,My heart is breaking to hear that you are gone. I miss the great times we had setting around your beautiful flowers on you back patioand telling jokes and laughing at the crazy things that Bruce did on the cruises we went on. I miss the times we went to get vegies and fruit at the flea market.The times we had going to your favorite restaurants.You were one of the best friends a person could ever know.You would do anything for anyone if they asked.The people that had the privelge of knowing you. Were the blessed one. Your friend ship will be missed by all.God Blessed you! and I know that God and You are looking down on all of us left here on earth are wondering why we are sad. The fact is we are mourning for the your friendship when we should be mourning that were not up in Heaven with you because you are in the most Beautiful Place there will ever be. Sincerly sherri

Herb we miss you in many ways: the early morning trips to the market, and your enthusiasm for buying what appeals at the time. We will miss you encouragment for doing things that for some reason we are reluctant to do. We miss your style. We miss you for you.

Herb, I would say rest in peace but I know you are already having too much fun meeting up with old friends like my Mom, Joanie Cockett.
Bruce and family, please accept my heartfelt sympathies. Herb will always have a special place in my heart.
