I was thinking of Herb this morning and googled him, and found his obituary. I worked with Herb at Northland School Division in Peace River. He had a fantastic management style and such an infectious laugh; we had alot of fun at work during a fairly difficult time. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Everything I encounter lately reminds me of Dad, from frying pans to hockey balls. :)

It's been just over 2 weeks since Dad passed away and I still have moments of forgetting that he is gone. Sheron, you and your family were great life-long friends to him and that was very important to Dad. All the best.

Herb will be missed! He was such an amazing man full of character and I will never forget how much he laughed and smiled. He was very special to our family - we will never forget him. My prayers and thoughts are with you all xxx
