Herb was a graduate of Evander Childs High School in the Bronx and went on to study at the City College of New York. He proudly served our country during WWII with the U.S. Air Force in the Philippines and Japan. Herbert was married to the love of his life, his childhood sweetheart, Rose, in 1944.

Herb was an avid Yankees Fan, a pass time he loved to share with his wife, Rose. He was a fearless fighter in facing the many illnesses he encountered throughout his life, which helped to put his family at ease.

To Jay, Joni and the Blutt family,

I extend my deepest sympathy to your entire family. I know how hard it is to lose someone so close; my father George Slossberg passed away in 2004 and there isn't a day that I wish I had one more day with him on Earth. I know that the love you shared will carry you through your time of mourning.

Sincerely,

Joanne ( Slossberg ) Kelly of
Stonington, Connecticut

To the Blutt family,
My condolences go out to the family. I was a coworker of Herb at Stanadyne Corporation. During those days, (1983-1985), I had the opportunity to work with Herb and learned a great deal from him.

Joni, Jay, and family,
Kenny and I want to extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful father (grandfather). I met Herb once, and he seemed to have a wonderful sense of humor. Kenny had seen him several times at services, and he remarked to me how much he liked Herb. We know that Herb will always be looking down on his wonderful family with pride. Memories of the great times you had together will be the strength that carries you through this difficult time.

Deborah and I send our heart felt sympathies to you. The loss of a husband and father is a tremendous loss that is not fully appreciated until you turn to him and he is not there. May the peace of the Lord be with you.
