Herby, I met you when I was 18, I was quite lost when I showed up in Teen Challenge in Harrisburg that summer. You were to become the greatest influence in my life. You were my first friend and still my best friend, I hope you still thought of that skinny white boy from West Virginia from time to time. I could never have forgotten you my beautiful friend. I am 67 now and often think of you.

I was one ofr herbs kids from Aug 11 1999 to Jan 24 2000. I was in the juvenile system from 11 years old to 21 and my judge and p probation officer did not want to throw me to the wolves so they placed in the impact program and into Mr herbs care. I just found his obituary and wanted to express my condolences.

I thought it was just a few years ago I saw you. I'm glad that I was able to introduce you to my wife. I'm glad that I got to show you that you helped at least one person to grow to be better than where he came from. You were a good man and you a major part of the reason I have become a good man. RIP. I miss you.

Dear sweet Herbie, how sad we were to hear of your passing but our first thought was that you and Bill are reunited and what a wonderful reunion that must have been! I still believe with all my heart that God meant for you to be there for Bill and you were his guardian angel. You were such an amazing mentor and he loved you so much! We all do Herbie! I have never met anyone quite like you and I am so grateful for your love and friendship. Love you Herbie!

Dear family of Pastor Herb,
I was very saddened to hear of Pastor Herb's passing.
He was such a patient, calm and soft spoken man of God with a beautiful smile.
He was a positive influence in the lives of many and he will be sorely missed.
I pray that our Heavenly Father, who is the great comforter will comfort you at very difficult time and in days ahead.
With heartfelt sympathy,

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Herbert. I have known the McAlpine family since I was a child. I remember his mother; how kind and beautiful she was; his father as a minister of the gospel and a wonderful father. I grew up with Herbert and all of his siblings. They have always been special to me.
May God comfort you during difficult time.

I'm so sorry for the loss of his presence from your life. I was only blessed to meet him a few times, but he strongly impressed me as a godly man, and had a powerful influence on the life and transformation of my late husband, Jim Seiler. May the God of all comfort be a comfort to you, as He has been to me.

To the McAlpine family, I extend my deepest sympathies and condolences. I have known Herbert, as well as his immediate family, most of my life. He and his brother Horace were some of my first friends. The McAlpine home, with a pool table in the cellar, was a safe refuge for many of us, and Mr. Oliver McAlpine, one of the kindest men I ever encountered, put up with us. Although I hadn't seen Herbert in way too many years I always considered him a friend and asked about him through our mutual friend Vince Jenkins, so it saddened me to hear of his passing.
RIP Herbert.
