He is the loving father of Mark (Mary) of Griffin, GA, Cathy of Las Vegas, NV, Mike (Jan) of Greendale, Dan (Cindy) of Hartford, Barb (Andy) Bangsberg of Cumberland, and stepfather to Dawn and Brian. He had 11 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. He is further survived by other relatives and friends.

Mass of Resurrection for Herb will be celebrated Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at St. Lawrence Catholic Church, 4886 WI-175, Hartford, Wisconsin 53027, with Fr. Rick Stoffel presiding.
