Sad for you guys, missing Herb here, but glad he's finally whole again and free of this world's struggles. Herb was my buddy and we had plenty of laughs together back in the Wrangler days. I know he's with Herb 'n Jo Lemons now, jokin' about school years and such. Probably ridin' that dang bike all over Heaven, too. ;) Love y'all, Greg

My sympathy to Sandy and the family. I had the fortune of being Herb's Physical Therapist. The privilege was the fact of being able to witness the strong will and spirit of this man. He did everything that was asked of him to improve strength and balance and even did his homework. He also kept his sense of humor and joy of life intact during the struggles of therapy. I will miss him but will never forget him. He is certainly an inspiration.

My condolences to Jones family. Were good friends with him and Sandy at YMCA. Also, he had worked with a friend, Dick Miller, many years ago at Blue Bell. May he rest in God's arms.
