In addition to his parents, Herbert was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, the former Elsie Jones; brother, William; sisters, Dorothy Reese and Audrey Miller; nephew, Garry Daniels; and son-in-law, Tony Kempinski.
Left to cherish his memory are daughters, Deborah Swan (John), Cynthia Perlick (George) and Pamela Kempinski (Tony); five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, one great-great-granddaughter, several nieces and nephews; and many wonderful friends.
