Herb was more than just a great student. He brought energy, enthusiasm, and genuine warmth into the classroom every day. Based on what I saw in Londonderry last week, it’s clear that an entire town won't be the same without him, and LMU certainly won't be the same, either.

Lucy and Herb-
We got to know Herbert in L.A. and when he visited Phoenix, and often heard from KB how much she cherished his friendship. You must have been very proud and loving parents. Our hearts go out to you. Please keep in touch with our family. You have friends in Arizona.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Darling,
I am so sorry to hear of Herbert's passing. Over the past 3 years straitening Herbert's teeth we were fortunate to see him monthly and enjoyed his warm, caring personality. He was always so happy and positive we all looked forward to seeing him each month and then when he returned from college to hear about his enjoyment there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Drs. Patricia Timmeny, Rachel Polgrean and the staff from Appletree Orthodontics

Herbert,
You were truly one of those rare individuals who made an impact on everyone you met. I only knew you through my sister, but you immediately impressed me as an exceptional human being. I became immediately attached to you and just truly liked you. You were such a genuinely good person; for instance, you volunteered to help my sister and I while we were moving her back into the dorms, just because we needed the extra hands. I thought that spoke so much to your character. I liked you so much and always loved being around you. You were smart, fun, funny, open, kind and insightful beyond your years. I am glad to have met you. I am keeping your family in my thoughts.

Herbert was a wonderful, engaged, and interested student in Honors class this last semester, and I will really miss him. It was a pleasure to have him in class - always cheerful, always willing to contribute...and loved by his fellow students. Herbert's Loyola Marymount University family has lost one of it's finest.
