I am SO sad to learn of Herb´s passing. He was a dear friend and business colleague during my years in San Diego county. Herb ALWAYS had a brilliant smile and a positive, but reality-based perspective about life and people. My son, Joubert, also loved Herb, and treasured some of the soccer tips Herb shared with Joby as he learned the game...particularly how to slip one´s foot inside that of a dribbling opponent, thereby dropping the opponent to the ground..."Take away!"
I have so many fond memories of Herb, but one that perhaps illustrates Herb´s joy for life, people and learning, was his participation in a little golf tournament I had in Escondido in the 80´s. The rules included consuming alcohol and other things before and during play. Herb held his own, and his play brought tears of laughter to everyone. Herb won the highest score trophy... I believe he shot a round of 152...and we all had a great day thanks to Herb being with us.
Herb´s interest and kindness in my troubled situations back then, and the feeling that in him I had a true friend no matter, have always stuck with me as a cherished memory.
Everyone who knew Herb is blessed.

The best uncle and godfather I could ever ask for. I love you and will miss you every day of my life. Thank you for always making me smile.

Hope to see you again. I'm glad we got to spend a few weeks together this past April, but sad we couldn't continue with a few more adventures. I will miss you. Love you brother, Gil.

We´ll miss him so much.
