I just ran across this. I was Herb and Francine´s banker in the 90´s. Herb was a generous wonderful loving man and a gentle warm soul. He folded me into his world with such sincerity and friendship. He and francine were such a power couple the loved their family and friends more than anything. May herbs name be for a blessing

I am late in finding Herb's obituary. I worked with him from 1984 until 1990. He was always so kind to me. He encouraged me in my career as well. My condolences to his entire family. I am grateful to see that he lived a long life and passed away in peace and surrounded by many of the people who loved him.

Art Sherman's daughters Leslie and Cathy send our condolences to the family. Herb and our father had almost mirrored educational experiences, work and they were friends and partners. We were deeply saddened to learn of Linda's passing . We send our love and prayers to all.

Francine and Family, I am just heart broken to learn of Herb's passing. I loved talking to him at our Jazz classes at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music. He was so knowledgeable, happy and full of life. I told him that "when I hit the 90s", I want to be like him, still driving around, doing fun things, he said his secret weapon was his wonderful, loving wife, Francine. God Bless
