As a cousin-in-law, Herb made me feel comfortably welcome at his and dear Marlene's beautiful home on the lake in Shawano and also their condo in Florida. I'm grateful for those times because I then understood the love he and Marlene had for each other. Herb will always have a warm place in my heart.
