Dear Marion and children,

I was startled to read the Herald on Friday with the news of Herb's death. He was such a fine man and all shall miss him very much. All the children remember when Steve took his Dad and their own Dad up in the balloon on Father's Day.

Dear Steve and Family:

I was very sorry to learn of the loss of your dad. Even though I had not the opportunity to meet him, I can tell that he was a wonderful person, just by knowing his son. All the effort that you put forth at our non profit has always been greatly appreciated, all your smiles and your jokes and your knowledge have helped us tremendously. We are with you in this time of sorrow and will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again, a big hug for you and yours.
