I've known Herb for many , many years since his employment at Martin's Volkswagen in DC. Herb was a "salt of the earth" kid of person. He was patient, kind, empathetic and ever entending of his himself to help other people. He spoke of memories with his wife and family members. His big heart and soul will be missed greatly. The world needs more like him. My heart is saddened at his loss. With sympathy...Carole Perry.
