Doris, John and Suzie,

So sorry for your loss, but Herb is now fishing where the seas are always calm, the bait lively, and the bite is good. Herb taught me a lot about fishing. He will be missed.

As a child I still remember the Captain guiding the B-Love out from the Intercoastal down to Boynton Inlet, as we were followed by two porposies. My father still has it on 8mm film. It's a memory I shall always have and remember of the way Florida use to be. Thank you Captain.

CAPT,

Although I never caught that monster dolphin aboard your charter, you helped me catch something even greater...qualtiy time with my family and friends. Thanks for the great memories and fishing stories that appear to get even better through the years. My heartfelt sympathy is with your family during these most difficult times. Fishing with you over the years has made it pretty difficult on those you left behind...smooth sailing and calm seas. LTC(Promotable) Brian Butler

Dear Mrs.Schulz & Family,our deepest sympathy in your time of loss.

Letting you know that the Lord will be with you in your loss. May He give you the comfort of the resurrection. Just the mention of Herbie Schulz brings back many memories we shared together in Delray and on the boat. One experience not so pleasant was when I was with Herbie as we pulled in lifeboats from a torpedoed English tanker. They were safely in but a rope got tangled in the boats prop and with the wind Herbie's boat was grounded and lost his boat. But it did not stop Herbie from getting out and doing the pleasure he enjoyed. May the Lord bless you. Vic Roth

To Doris & the family - please know I loved Herbie too.

I'll never forget the wonderful times & experiences we had - & what a wonderful & loyal friend he was. I'll miss knowing he's no longer with us.

Herbie is the greatest fisherman I've ever known - he was a hero to my dad and I - we'd always give him a call whenever we were on the water. If you wanted to catch fish, you went with Herbie! Tight lines, my freind!

I'll never forget one summer vacation trolling off Boynton and listening to Capt. Shultz on the radio as his charter hooked and landed five Wahoo in a row in less than 45 minutes. He said he had never seen such action in all his years. He is a Flodida legend and will live on in our memories through such "fish stories".

My love to you, Doris. When I heard in church Sunday that Herb went to Heaven, I was happy for him but so sad for you and your family. I know how close all of you are ... I am so sorry for your loss. I'll see you Thursday. My love and prayers.
