I knew Herb on a message board from several years ago. I was honored to know Herb and enjoyed his intellect and his great sense of humor. RIP.

Herb was a great boss and friend! His sense of humor was second to none! As a new lifeguard, I asked if there was a test that he wanted me to take, he told me I needed to swim under water for 100 yards with his mother in tow! He will be missed by many!
