Herb loved to hike the mountains and had many stories from his adventures to share with his friends and family. He loved to do oil painting, gardening, and any aspects of nature. He loved to take the grandkids on walks to the “Meadow” as he called it, behind his house.
Herb was a very loving and patient man, was known for his gentle smile, and loved Lois, his family and mostly his love for Christ
