I knew Herb for 55 years. He was a modest and honorable person, and a brilliant engineer/scientist whose inventions helped save hundreds of millions of lives all over the world. That was his passion and all the compensation he wanted or needed. I am greatly saddened by his passing.

Herb was an easy going co-worker with a great sense of humor and a good friend to have.
