I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers for the family. I am very thankful that my brother left an impression on pretty much everyone he met. But most of all I am greatful that he gave me such a wonderful sister in Kathy and my awesome niece and nephews. I was lucky, he was my brother by chance, she was his wife by choice. I love you and miss you much Bubba.

Kathy and family: I can't tell you how sorry I am of your loss. Although I didn't know Herbie or you and your family very well, I knew enough of his warmth and his great big smile he always had when he greeted you! I know you all have been through a lot these last few years and I hope you will soon find some comfort and calm in your days to come. I give to you all my deepest sympathy. Herbie will be very much missed by everyone at Jerry Harris Remodeling (formerly Case Handyman & Remodeling in Tidewater).
