Herb and Paulie were two of the kindest , loving and caring individuals who we were lucky enough to call friends. We met through the YMCA and our Marshfield neighborhood . They were so in love and set such an example in their marriage. Herb would often say in the 60 plus years they never had an argument. Paulie would always give a wry smile when he said that . They both had fantastic senses of humor and Herb maintained that to his end . Their generosity was known to all and was inspirational to all . We miss them and feel a great loss . Our deepest condolences to the family . Ann and Del Berrada

Herb was my boss and a good friend. He was an exciting leader. Full of enthusiasm and energy. Whether it was a new product idea or a tennis match, he approached it with a vigorous confidence. Generous in so many ways. He leaves a special legacy.
