My cousin, Herbie, was as sweet as his smile... Many memories... in Miami, Chicago, New York, Baton Rouge,... Always full of cheer and kindness... And he did not waver in taking on the politicians!! He was right there with the punches or praise , whichever was called for at the time... My deceased husband,
Sammy, Herbie's cousin, had the highest affection for his beloved cousin......
May they both rest in ...

Herb Kraus was an incredible man to the end of his life, never losing a certain life force. He repeatedly informed me of what a blessed and lucky man he was to have the family, friends, and experiences that made up his life.
He will certainly be missed by many....

My deepest condolences to his loving and devoted family,
