During my five years working at DeVry University in Columbus, I saw Herb most every day in the hallway. I've always remembered his friendly smile and positive outlook. What a rare gem he was! I consider it a privilege to have been acquainted with him.

My deepest sympathies are extended to his family.

I was a student and have worked at DeVry for many years with Herb. He was so loved by everyone that knew him. I hope his family knows how much his Devry family truly loved and appreciated his smile and kind welcomes. My heart is very heavy today. God has truly taken one of his brightest angels home.

To my family; Lois, Myron, Lisa, Marlon, and Sherry, there are no words to express during the loss of your friend and father but know that he is no longer suffering and he is resting.
