Herbert Devere Papenfuss

Yesterday I listened to this on YouTube. https://youtu.be/aYhwACdRQcc?si=pv2Uz79gk3gYxQ7d Immediately transported to the Papenfuss living room on South Eagle Road with Kathy on the upright piano and Brother Papenfuss singing. To be honest this man is okay as a bass, but Brother Oaoenfuss was magnificent. His low notes so effortless and his emotive powers superior as a singer. He was a good man with a staggering testimony of his Savior and the redemptive power of the gospel of Christ. I...

Kathleen and family
I am so sorry to hear of Herb's death..I have thought of him often and think of the joy he must be experiencing.. He always had such a wonderful testimony. I loved to hear his discourses on the creation of the earth. Now, we have been friends for a long time and I have wonderful memories of your family. We send our love. Lillie Vance and family.

I was saddened to hear of Herb's death. He'll be in my memory as an intelligent and sweet human being with a great capacity for maintaining a sense of equanimity.
Scientifically, some may not know that Herb came out of that strong
plant physiology program at Colorado State. my condolences to the family.

We of the faculty and staff of the Department of Biology at Boise State send our condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Herb was a wonderful teacher and a great colleague. To use Herb’s own phrase, he “shoveled a lot of coal”, that is, he taught many classes and hundreds of students. His enthusiasm for biology was a motivation for many of our students.

Dear Papenfuss family,
I send our most sincere sympathy and ask blessings of peace for each of you. Brother Papenfuss is a legend in our family. Although our five boys never met him personally, they are well aware of his perfect example of scholarship, integrity and work ethic. There have been funny stories, serious stories and his sayings have intermingled with our own granddad's into one hodgepodge of wit and wisdom.

Most importantly, Brother Papenfuss' testimony of Jesus...

thoughts and prayers to the family, i lived next door to Herb and his family for years--our condolenses--Brent Arte and family

We send our love and thoughts at this time of sadness ad yet a time
of joy. Uncle Herb althou I never
called him Uncle was a person of
great compassion and we so enjoyed the few time we were able to spend with him. Will never forget our first trip to Boise and Herb taking us up to the ski run and explaining
all the plants and how the indians and pioneers use them. Althou my
husband had one or two moments of
panic that we were going of the road. I had hoped...

I was very saddened to hear about Uncle Herb. I am grateful though for the time and opportunity I had to spend with uncle Herb in Oakland. He was a wonderful man and a great example to those who knew him. I pray our Heavenly Fathers choicest blessings be with you and your family at this time.

Love,
Tyson
