We are so saddened to hear of our dear Herb's passing. The Geryak kids always looked to him like a father, who "hated kids". We will always have very happy memories of growing up next door and taking vacations together. Elaine, mother sends her love as all of us do. Joanne

I was saddened to learn of his passing. I know these last months were difficult, but now he is without pain. I know my parents will miss him greatly having been friends for over 40 years, but we can look back at a lifetime of memories from the jewelry store where he always was there to help us find that perfect gift to the days out on patrol with my dad in the Sheriff's Department. He will live on in each of us with his gifts of love, laughter and dedication to family and friends. God Bless you all.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss of Herb. It was always such a pleasure to see him. It was apparent how much he loved his family.
I still grin every time I think about the first time we met him, just after he moved to NC. He told us that "It doesn't snow much in Buffalo."
May God bless you all with memories full of smiles.
With love,
