Herb was the kindest most generous man. My family will always be appreciative for his visits to my home to care for my mother, Jo and my aunt Catherine. My sincerest regards to Roz and Stuart. Lynbrook and East Rockaway really missed his happy and charming personality.
With great sadness,

Psalms 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

So terribly sorry to hear of Herb's passing. He was a wonderful man and lovely neighbor who I shall miss very much. Roz, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
