Herb was an awesome guy. Great sense of humor. He was my Pittsburgh Steeler friend. He came to my 9:30 exercise class for a long time. He will be missed. God Bless!

To Herb's Children and Brothers:
We had a lot of fun over the years at our reunions. He always had us laughing at something that happened years before. He was a good person and fun to be around. I will miss him! God Bless and Love to all of you!

Herb was a fun loving brother-in- law. He always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye whenever he gathered with the Storm clan.

We admired Herb and Janet's commitment to each other and their love for their family.
