Herb loved football and all competitive sports, especially his beloved Texas Longhorns.  He enjoyed fishing of all varieties, treasuring his time with family at Ferndale Fishing Club close to Pittsburgh, Texas.  He enjoyed all kinds of events where he could meet and visit with others, saying, “I can talk to the wall.”  He became an ardent fan of the Clifton Cub Athletics, loudly coaching from the sidelines.  Herb enjoyed life to the fullest with gusto and optimism.  His laugh could be heard from any point around him.  He was deeply loved by his family and all who knew him.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 11th at 1:00PM at Immanuel Lutheran Church; 911 W 3rd St.; Clifton, TX 76634.
