God so richly blessed many Garden Homes’ members through Herb's generous commitments to the Boys Club, later Pioneers, and various team sporting activities. His gentle leadership and devotion to church, school, & loving family were visible public testimony to a very strong Christian faith. During your sadness, may our Heavenly Father bring you comfort and peace with His promise of the coming eternal reunion.
