Herb was a special friend to my dad, Russ Pokett, popping by to see him just when my dad needed a lift. My special condolences to his daughter Lynn, who stayed close and encouraged him to the end. Herb will be missed.

What a loss! Herb was such a special brother-in law. I wish I could have known him for more years that I did. I know he is resting in the arms of Jesus & Mary because of his strong faith. Carol's faith will help her through this & will help her through the pain that comes with such a loss. Carol's family & friends have been so supportive. She is coping with the thought that they will be together again someday. Joyce
