Not sure what to say?

I moved out of Tangi several years ago and didnt speak to Herb as often as in the past. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He really was one of a kind and any conversation with Herb always felt like you were old friends. It's just the way he was. I'll miss him, he was a fun and interesting person. Wherever he is, I'd like to think he's continuing has lively banter with my step-dad John Braud, it was one of their favorite pastimes.Much love to the family. Herb was truly a delight.

Many memories made growing up in the Freiler home from sleepovers to babysitting! My sincere condolences to the family.

When I was a kid, I knew Herb's Dad, and later Buffie and I graduated together, and then after I retired, Herb and I became friends. As a broker, he helped me several times. After New Year's I called to check on Herb and he was at home and doing well, so I was a little surprised to learn that he had passed on Valentine's Day. I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers to the family.

Sydney, my thoughts and prayers go out for your family during this time.
Mr. Herb, what can I say, you were a good guy. Thank you for letting us have all those sleep-overs even though I know we probably drove you crazy! We made great memories at your house! I know how much you loved Sydney and she, you. May you rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Sydney and the family on the loss of Herb. He and I shared many great memories during and after high school. Including the wonderful trip to the West Coast that he, Howell Phillips and I made as 17 year olds right after high school. It included our walk to the bottom of Grand Canyon, travels to San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego, Tucson and stops at several national parks where we camped out. Quite the trip for small town boys. He and I were at Tiger Stadium when...

Herb was always good to me and respectful. What I know most about him is how very much he loved you, Sydney. And I know without a doubt that he felt your love no matter the miles that separated you. What matters is that love itself always keeps you close to your loved ones. No matter what. I love you, Syd ❤

Herb was " One of a kind" and there will never be another Herb!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
