Dearest Cousins,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
I've read the guest book entries below and am amazed at what a wonderful man my uncle was and how he touched soo many lives. I only wish I would have had the opportunity to know him more personally.
I hope you find comfort in knowing that he had a great positive impact on so many people. He will not soon be forgotten.
I feel comforted in knowing that my Dad now has his big brother to watch the "Red Sox" win the world series this season!!
God Speed Uncle Herb.

A great man, a great husband, and a great father to a tremendous family. The Coolidge Field neighborhoods were filled with kids 4 decades ago, including the Haswells and the Cormiers, totalling nearly 20 kids between them. It was always a pleasure to see Mr. Haswell when at the Haswell "estate" or down the field or at the shop. Us Cormiers always had great respect for Mr. (and Mrs.) Haswell throughout the years. The neighborhood parents collectively did what they could to watch over each other's children whenever possible and we all appreciated that. It was an excellent neighborhood to live in because of great parents like Mr. Haswell. I salute you Mr. Haswell for all that you did for us, your family and the Natick community. You raised a fine family and I'm sure you were extremely proud of each one of your kids. You'll be missed dearly.

Guys, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Herb. There are so many memories of your Dad. Of the times of July 4th we would do the parade then up to the Elks for the blueberry pie eating contest . I remember in1968 the year after the Sox won the pennant he loaded a bunch of us into the station wagon and took us to Fenway. I don't know why I remember but the Sox were shutout by Baltimore that day. Coming home from college one time he gave me his business card,( why and how did Herb have a business car?), and told me if I ever needed anything to call. With all you guys he needed to help me!!! I remember how mad he was when Don Cherry had too many men on the ice and the B's lost to Montreal in game seven. I also remember how sad he was after Patty left us. Like all of us he wasn't perfect, he was just "Herb". I know it's tough right now but we have to remember he is with your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys and when the boys play their games today I'll tell them to give a little extra because uncle Herb is up there watching them. Love, Danny,Kelly,Katelyn,Brendan and Colin Pratt
