Herbert L. Zincke

To the Zincke family and friends, I loved Herb's sense of humor! My husband, son, my elderly mother and myself, took Herb to an air show one day. It was a humid, sweltering, 95° day. I asked Herb, "What is the Air Force Motto"? He replied, "I don't know, drop them bombs"? I miss Herb so much, along with all his love and laughter he gave to us! We will never forget your sacrifice and service for us and this wonderful country! RIP, Herb.

To the Zincke Family, Herb was and is the greatest gift and influencer in my life. I talk about him to others with great pride, admiration and love in my heart. Thank you Herb for so many blessings and above all, thank you for your years of sacrifice and service to our country. I will honor and treasure them, always! Love, Patty Denell

Still missing you! Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Glad we got to talk 2 weeks before you left us. Love you so much. You ROCK! and you always will.

To the Zincke family,
I am deeply sorrowed by the loss of one of my dearest friend's, Herbert L. Zincke. Herb and I worked together at Vitro in Rockville, MD in the early 1980's. Having lost my father at age 3-1/2, Herb was like a father to me. Had my father lived, they would have been the same age. We had a father/daughter relationship that meant the world to both of us. I would visit him periodically at his home/or take him to lunch. The stories he told were mesmerizing, as if you...

To the Zincke family,
My father Edward Lubiewski was a POW at Kawasaki 2B with Herb. After the war, I believe they co-owned a house in Riverside, CA. Born Dec 9.1948, that was my first home. I remember occasional trips to Sunnymeade, Ca to vist Herb's Army Surplus. Now I have begun in earnest to patch together the POW story my father never shared with me, but was recorded in Herb's book. Thank you, Herb! Norma Lubeck, COL, MC, USAR Seattle, WA

To the Zincke family,
My father Edward Lubiewski (19th BG SQ 14) was a POW at Kawasaki 2B with Herb. After the war, I believe they co-owned a house in Riverside, CA. Born Dec 9,1948, that was my and my sister's first home. I remember occasional trips to Sunnymeade, CA to visit Herb's Army Surplus. Now I have begun in earnest to patch together the POW story my father never shared with me, but was recorded in Herb's book chronicling the horrific account of Bataan and POW imprisonment....

Rest in Peace Grandpa, we will really miss you. Thank you for loving us and being there:)
