Herbert Myers Obituary
Dover - Herbert J. Myers, age 62, of Dover, died peacefully, at the UPMC Memorial Hospital, on Wednesday, April 22, 2020. Born in Hanover on August 14, 1957, he was the son of the late Donald and Betty (Cornbower) Myers.
Herb was a 1975 graduate of Spring Grove High School. He went on to serve as a Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force, serving in the Gulf War. Following his time in the service, Herb became the fleet manager for Apple Chevrolet, retiring in 2019. Herb was a member of Calvary Lutheran Church in Dover, the Jefferson Rifle Club, and the Dry Run Hunting Camp in Clearfield County.
Herb enjoyed spending time hunting and fishing, especially in the mountains of Northwest Pennsylvania. He was always very handy, and was known for his beautiful woodwork. Herb loved to spend time outside with family and friends, especially when he got to fire up the bbq grill.
Herb is survived by his daughter Kaitlyn M. Tillinghast, and her husband J. Luke of York, his beloved grandson J. Liam Tillinhast, his brothers Elmer Myers of Mechanicsburg, Eugene Myers of Calera, AL, Ted Myers, and his wife Tina of Jefferson, Steven Myers of McSherrystown, and his sister Anna Baile of Hanover.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a memorial service to celebrate Herb's life will be held at a later date. Contributions in Herb's memory may be made to Calvary Lutheran Church, 9 North Main Street, Dover, PA 17315.
Arrangements by the Etzweiler Funeral Homes and Cremation Service, 1111 East Market Street, York, PA 17403. www.etzweilerfuneralhome.com.

I had the pleasure of working with Herb the last 6 years he was with Apple Chevrolet. He was a very loving, fun, and kind person. He will be missed. He taught me a lot that helped both on the job and outside the job. My thoughts are with his daughter and her family, they were all he ever talked about, even after retirement on his pop in visits.
