Herbert S. Traub Jr.

Thank you Mr Traub for beautifying Daffin park the Lucas restoration and especially the Pirates House. RIP and God bless your family.

Just shared a memory today, 3/13/21 of this wonderful man. His daughter Kim, decades ago when our kids shared a preschool and later a p.s. that Herb volunteered at, told me she got her a dad a certificate for the Sinkers' Club because he ate over his kitchen sink : ) So many wonderful memories of Savannah that never make it into publication. I've enjoyed sitting in Herb's old restaurant pre-pandemic, now a Starbucks drive thru only since last March, enjoying Lola Collins stories from her...

When Bryan Gary call with the news of Herb, it brough memories of when I was station at Hunter AFB in 1950 and,to make a long story short, Herb took me into his home a made me feel at home. From there I met some wonderful famlies of Savannah that made my stay more than just an assignment. The Kurt Nannigan Family, Bryan and others. Our House
on Victory Drive became my house. We became friends and visited over the past 60 years. He will be missed as I knew him as a "true southern...

Oh, the memories I have of "Uncle Herb"...known to those north of THE LINE as the Seventh Winsch Brother. My dad Ed ('Mit-ter Aid') considered Herb his closest and dearest friend. I remember the 3-day drives down from NY each summer in a small sedan with mom, dad and us 4 (at the time) little ones. What kept us happy was the thought that Herb would send us back up north with a box full of crepe-paper balls that produced trinkets when unwound. Dad would let us unroll them and let the paper...

I was very saddened when I heard of Mr. Traubs passing. He was a kind and loving man. He truly cared for Savannah, its people and especially his employees. I know the entire community will miss him.
I'll keep his family in my prayers.

With love,

Kim,

What great memories I have of your Dad. He was one of the kindest and most generous people I've ever met. I will always remember the lessons he taught me in business and customer service when I worked at the Pirates House in the summer during college. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Kim & Family,
I share in your heartache with great compassion :-(
Love,

Dear Kim,Pieter,and Lucas---"Miss Janis" will never forget Herb Traub as being the honorary grandfather in my class at Maggie's.The first time he showed up to sit in the rocking chair and just be grandfather and read stories I asked him what the children should call him."Herb",he answered,"I'm just Herb.".But quite often he was called " Grandpa" and we could see the twinkle in his eyes---but did the twinkle ever grow when one of you walked up to him!The three of you were his heart and...
