Herbie and I grew up on Leonard Road in Norva Homes. I remember fondly all of the Hankins family. I remember all the fun things we used to do growing up there! Never met a nicer bunch of kids and their families. We actually were all one big family doing things together! Herbie, you will be missed by all but especially your family that you were so proud of! My sincere condolences!
