Uncle Herb will be missed by us here in Cincinnati. He was always up with a joke or comment. May the Lord comfort all who mourn.

What a blessing to know that if anyone had tried to suggest to Herb that he would NOT be forever with his Savior in Eternity, his response would have been one of his old great standbys: "Well, that's just stoopid!"
We always miss him here, but always look forward to the blessed reunion!!
