He also enjoyed history and was considered an expert on anything related to the outdoors including firearms, knives, and fishing.
He had so many friends and family that he enjoyed spending time with, and loved to sit around and tell stories with every one. He was also very thankful for having so many around that cared about him and the family.
Herbert is survived by son, Justin Smith and wife, Melissa, of Dayton; sister, Sharon Clinedinst of Dayton; brother-in-law, Roger Click of Dayton; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews also survive.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Shelby Click, and brother-in-law, Marion Clinedinst.
