Lily & Family,
How sad I am to hear of Herb's passing. We were close friends at Bangor High. I was so happy to see you both at the BHS reunion last summer and to recall stories from the past with Herb such as when we painted the Bullseye Bridge in Bangor together until they fired us both for being too raucous (actually we weren't being raucous: we were just scared.) Our condolences to your family and to Arthur whom I haven't seen since he was quite young. Though I haven't seen Herb often since high school, he will leave a void.

Lily, I only met you briefly at our 50th reunion but Herb was a friend I admired and respected so much in our high school days. I am so happy I got to reconnect at the reunion last summer. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He was a great guy.

Dear Lily,
We were all so saddened to hear about Herb's passing. It was just wonderful meeting you and seeing him at the reunion. I am grateful I had that opportunity to reminisce with him again fifty years later. He stood out at Bangor High School as being brilliant, nice, and a compassionate human being. I will always remember him with the fondest memories. Please know our thoughts are with you and the family during this difficult time.
