My heartfelt condolences to the family and to Denise and the girls. Herb left a mark on many hearts. I'll always remember his passion for his favorite sports teams (Braves/Dolphins/D.J.), his "silly" voice... and that he "let" Marcia and The Debinator beat him in foosball! He was such a presence, and his loss will be felt by so many. I love you, Herb. Rest in peace.

I didn’t have the privilege of getting to know Herb well (although the times I was around him, he was a blast and made me laugh!), but I do know this – he brought great joy to my sister Denise’s life and was the best friend she ever had. For this, I am forever grateful to him. I know that he’s in a better place now, making others smile and laugh. Rest in peace, Herb. And know that to Denise, Natalie and Nikki, you made a difference here.

I went to school with "Herbert", that is what we called him then, at Elizabeth Holladay Elementary in Lakeside. He was in my 6th grade, I remember he was such a jokester, and loved to have fun. I am sorry for your loss.

Tootsie and Boo,
I am so sorry about Junie and the loss that you both must be feeling! Though I never really got to spend too much time with Junie, I know when I did, there was laughing and fun involved! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Love, Cindy

Antie Tootsie & Boo:
I am sorry that you lost Junie at such a young age. Even though I had not seen Junie in awhile, he was in my thoughts. We had some good times. I will miss him. Sorry I will not be there with you tomorrow, but know that I am there with you in your heart. I will be with Cuz Vicki and we will raise our glasses to him at 2pm. I know how much he would love that! I love you both.
Love,
Sheila

Anti-Tootsie & BooBoo, you know how much Junie meant to me and how much I will miss him. I hadn't seen him much in the last 20 yrs. but he was always in my thoughts. He will always be in my heart! There are so many great memories...good and not so good, but never bad. He will be with us always.
love you all,
Lorraine
