Not sure what to say?

Herb Sr was my ex Father-in-law. He was a character with such a great sense of humor! I remember when our (Herb Jr) son was born, G-pa Herb came to visit, he had gotten Aro a little baseball glove and ball and called him "Short Stop" That was Aro"s nick name ever since.
Rest in peace G-Pa. Thoughts, prayers and hugs for all the family

comfort in these days of sorrow. The memories of all the good times must prevail. I will always remember my Uncle Herb for the way he always brightened the day when he was around. May He rest in peace.
