He was so proud of them and the choices they made in life.
Herb served in many church leadership positions in his life. He had a big heart and loved helping people. Herb was grateful for his "blessed life". He had a valiant testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and was a defender of the faith.

Herb loved vacations and family time, especially camping as a family at the Spruces Campground. He loved the outdoors and spending time with his sons camping, fishing and hunting. He said he only needed one daughter because "she was the best".
