HERBERT LUX Obituary

LUX, HERBERT A. Nov. 18, 1925 to Sept. 3, 2010 Native of Cardiff, California. Youngest of three brothers: Jesse (deceased) and Robert of Bonita. He worked for Convair in the 1950s and was custodian at Cardiff Elementary School for 30 years (1958-1988); beloved by a generation of Cardiff school children. Fond memories of Herb are enhanced by the Torrey Pine trees on Manchester Avenue in Cardiff and various campuses around the local area, grown by him from seedlings. Throughout his working years, he also managed the Lux Ranch and often could be seen on his favorite red tractor. Services for Herb will be held on Saturday, October 16, 2010, at 2:00 p.m. at the Olivenhain Pioneer Cemetery. Rest in peace, Herbie; thanks for your good nature and perseverance and for your huge camera collection!

Mr. Lux was always at Ada Harris school doing whatever he could to make our school better. He always remembered my name, even into my adulthood. What a great guy!

Rest in Peace sweet Herb...You will missed.
Born and raised in Cardiff I attended both Cardiff and Ada Harris scools. I can remember Herb's infectious smile. He was part of Cardiff and I am happy to have called him a friend for the years I spent in school and after.

One thing I found, Herb would never forget a name or face. It's been sometime now since I've spoken to Herb, but I will never forget him.

Thanks for all you did herb RIP friend.

I will always remember how sweet Herbie was not only at Cardiff Elementary but I also got to enjoy growing up with him being our neighbor. I will always remember him taking us (Bernadine and I ) and our other friends in his dune-buggy aka (manx vw) for rides behind the house, his freezer always having popsicles for us kids anytime we were over at Bernadines house playing.Rest in peace Herbie and thanks for the memories....Caprice Zimmerman-Mcintire
