Herbert SEMMELMEYER Jr.

I stumbled upon this place quite by accident.

Herb Semmelmeyer was a neighbor of ours growing up. To me, he was a replica of John Wayne in strength and composure. He was always nice and polite to us kids, even though we were the rabble rousers of the neighborhood, stirring up trouble whenever we could.

It's always sad when people like this pass on. Sorry for the family's loss.

Sincerely,

Until we meet again, “Swing hard in case you hit it

This a rememberence of life. Uncle Herb was someone whi embraced active life from the golf game he loved to the high Sierra cabin he viewed the simple life. I remember him as a youth helping me fly model planes in the neighborhood in Portland Oregon and then as a gracious host who welcomed us on our western trip to meet all my side of the family and let my wife Connie see for the first time the hospitality of our western family. Uncle Herb will be sorely missed. His wit, charm, and...
