Joseph Hebert Obituary

Joseph Lee Hebert Passed away on August 9, 2006. We had just celebrated his 81st birthday. He is survived by his devoted wife of 49 years, Margaret; his daughter Cheryl Solis and her husband Alan Solis; his daughter Lynda Hebert Balas and her husband Paul Balas; and his much loved grandchildren, Louis and Olivia Balas. Joe grew up in a large family of nine children in the Northern Central Valley. He is survived by his elder sister Thelma Heiken. Joe was a veteran of WWII. He along with his wife Margaret were proprietors of St Mary's Pub in SF for 30 years, and in that time many of his customers became good friends. Joe enjoyed having a good time, was well liked, and had the Hebert Family's great sense of humor. Joe will be remembered for his passion in gardening. We will deeply miss him.

I was so sorry to hear from my brother Tom that Joe has passed on. I know my Mom and Dad and all his friends who were there before him were waiting to greet him. My prayers and sympathies are with the family. If there is anything we can do please keep in touch and let us know. I always smile when I think of "Big Joe" and what a great man he was.
