Not sure what to say?

Herb was a good friend to all members of the Bristol Yacht Club. He was a consistent and active participant in Past Commodore's dinners. His sailing stories were always a bright spot for his dear friends. Julie and I always enjoyed spending time with him.

Herb helped me get my first job out of college with Wayne Distributors as display associate for Miller and Utica Club Beer. A great friend of my parents, George and Sally Wilson. Great guy, sailor and with delicious bagels.

We are so sorry to learn of the passing of our friend, Herb. He was a Sunfish sailing buddy at Bristol Y.C. in the 1970s and a bagel meister to us in the 1990s. We will miss his wit and wisdom. A great friend and all-around good guy. We are very lucky to have known him and Chris.

I did No know him personally, but up here every Fall to bring my Dad south for the winter, I would get coffee and bagels...asking him if he had any banana nut bagels yet. He would always say, let me check", do a 360 and say with a smile, no not yet. He was a stranger to me, I didn´t know his name, but I will always remember him. So sorrow for your lose.

So sorry for your loss Rob and Kristin. We will always have fond memories of our brief encounter with Herb. The catboat brought us together and we will always think of Herb every day we sail her. Steve and Connie

Mr. Browne was a wonderful man and friend of my dad and family. He was the first person to be there for me when my dad died. I have so many fond memories of him and Mrs. Browne over the years. Our parents were great friends. He and my dad had a wonderful relationship and it makes me happy to know that they are together again

I´ll love and miss you forever Grandpayour stories will be shared forever, both for a laugh r to teach a lesson or two. Love forever, Jamie
