Herbert Nyberg Obituary
Herb served in the Air force, in the Pacific, during WW11 and received the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal and the WWII Victory Medal. Herb worked for Amica Mutual Insurance, in Worcester, MA, for 35 years. He received his associate's degree from Quinsigamond Community College. A favorite memory of Herb's was in 1961, when he took his family cross county by train to visit his relatives in CA. He was past president of Our Lady of Good Counsel Men's Club in West Boylston, MA. Upon retiring, he and his wife moved to Falmouth, MA, where he made many more friends that he felt "so fortunate to have". He was an active member of Falmouth Elk's, lodge 2380, and the Past Exalted Ruler from 1996-97. In his free time, he could be found playing cribbage and golf.
Herb, and his sparkling blue eyes, will be forever remembered by his children, Mary Ellen O'Connor of Yardley, PA, Herbert J. Nyberg of Old Lyme, CT and Teresa Ann Nyberg-Grim of McLean, VA, and their spouses, along with his 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
He will be lovingly remembered by his cherished friend and companion, Karen Gavel, of North Grafton, MA.
He is survived by his siblings, Hope Economou, Charles R. Nyberg and Donald Nyberg, his brother-in-law, Joseph Trustey, and an abundance of nieces and nephews.
Dad will be remembered for his positive attitude and how thankful he always was for everything in his life, especially how "the Man Upstairs has been good to me".
Visiting hours will be held from 1-4 Sunday, October 14, 2018 at Chapman Cole & Gleason Funeral Home 475 Main St, Falmouth, MA. A funeral mass will be celebrated at 11:45 Monday at St. Patrick's Church 511 Main St Falmouth, MA. Burial will follow at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne.

Oh my dear "Herbie"...I see you have left us & gone to your richly deserved reward....now I KNOW heaven is a goal worth reaching as it is FILLED with wonderful people like you....I know you missed your wife so much so I'm glad for what must have been a happy reunion....what a surprise when I ran into you with one of my friends, Karen, from home....you were lucky to have her doting on you all those years & she was lucky to have your dry wit & caring ways around her....Everyone just seemed to love "Herbie" and why not ???
What a joy it ALWAYS was to see you at the Elks when Charlie & I would go with Lois....you ALWAYS made it special...Charlie got such a kick out of you bringing his food but then not letting him have it or just picking on me....I just loved running into you here at hometown functions as I hadn't expected it but what a treat...I felt so bad when I went to the last of the season Elks Fish Fry & you weren't there & then Karen told me you were not so well....you're a good man Herbie who served your country, the Elks, your friends & I'm sure your family well....I called you a little mischief with those twinkling blues but there is nothing little about the amount you will be missed.....HUGELY by so MANY....HUGELY I say..
Condolences to all of your children & their families ...I pray the memories they must have will sustain them all in the days to come....I pray they & dear Karen find peace knowing you have yours....
Luv & Blessin's Herbie, Chris M

I will miss uncle Herb. My fondest memories of
him were visiting his house in Mass. When i was
young. He had a dry sense of humor. He would always say we had to work for our food,and hand me a broom or something. But I could tell by the smirk on his face he was just having fun. I will miss fouth of July at his house in Falmouth.
Love Matt, Martha, Ryan , Jarrod Economou.
