Herbert DRECHSLER

I miss dad.

Hardly a day goes by that we don't think of Herb. Thank you Herb for all the treasured memories. Love Harry & Jean

My brother's memory lives forever in my heart.

What I remember most about Herb was his good humor and positive attitude. We worked on several mining deals and he was always a great guy to be around. I'm sorry I lost touch after leaving Vancouver. I know he will be missed by his family and many friends.

I was very sad to hear of Herb's passing. He had unending curiosity and an ability to master whatever he decided he should master. Great energy, very kind and so bright. Wherever you are Herb, I'm sure you are engaging in a spirited discussion and entertaining everyone.

It was with great sadness that we learned of Herbs passing by mail from Linda today. We met Herb and Linda on a cruise and was hoping that one day we would meet again. Sadly this is not to be and although we are thousands of miles away from his home and just learned of his passing, a few tears have flowed for this nice, interesting and larger than life man.
Rest in Peace Herb and we will meet again some day.. xx

I had the great pleasure of serving with Herb on our Strata Council for several years in the mid-90s. He was our Treasurer, and was not only extremely effective in managing the condominium's financial affairs, he was a pleasure to work with. I have never seen Herb without a beaming smile on his face. He was engaging, friendly, enthusiastic, and a superb member of that team. It was a shock to me yesterday to hear of his passing when Linda and I passed in the street - we'd been away for much of January and hadn't heard. Herb's was a life so well lived, and we are so grateful that we had the pleasure of knowing him. He lives on within all of us, in the influence he had on us.

I have fond memories of your dad, Michael and sibs. From picking us up at that pub on 9W below West Point after my 2nd flat, to playing chess. Great sense of humor. Your mom too. RIP.

I had the pleasure to meet Herb through working with Michael. We "minced" words over many lunches at Michael's; about culinary escapades, travels with Linda, granddaughters, sons and daughters, his many coloured suspenders, and wearing two watches! Fond memories to cherish. Rest well, friend, you've earned it!

Although its been many years since we have been in touch, I was saddened to hear of Herb's passing. May his memory be of a blessing for a kind hearted, friendly and gregarious individual. My thoughts are with Linda and the whole family

I am deeply saddened to learn of Herb's passing. I got to know Herb while I was working as metallurgist for Aurex Resources, a company that he was a Director of. Herb took me under his wing to help me advance my career in business and finance. He was definitely the most caring and proactive individual that I have had the pleasure of working with. I reminisce of some of his colourful commentary and life lessons. I recall he did not accept the phrase "cautiously optimistic", he would say, "Either you're cautious, or you're optimistic, but not both!" Once again, I would like to express my deepest condolences to his family, and I will always think fondly of Herb.

We were deeply saddened by the news of Herb's passing. He was an exceptional individual and such he will remain in our hearts.
Our sincere condolences to the Family.

Herb, you a wonderful friend to us and will remain in our hearts always. Summer in the Okanagan will not be the same without you but we will treasure our time with Linda sipping wine in your memory. You will be very missed. Love Linda & Bob

Dear Herb, you will be missed. Loved your excellent sense of humour and your great smile.

Dave and Malin

We were delighted to know Herb and appreciated his thoughtful discussions, wit and charm. Herb will be missed, not only by his family, but others who had the pleasure of knowing him. It will continue to be a difficult time for you and the family, coping with your loss; however, please know that others care and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Herb will always be remembered as one of those special people you meet in life. He will be greatly missed.

May fond memories of your loved one be a measure of comfort and joy to you at this time.

I was pleased to know as Herb's favorite "BIL".

It was, and will remain, an honour and a pleasure to know Herb and share many a delightful ski cabin dinner with him, Linda and other cabin mates.

Herb, you will be forever in our hearts as a dear friend.
