Such sad news. “Herby” grew up with the frustration of feeling he was only known as the ‘short guy.’ But to everyone else he was regarded to be tall in stature being so well mannered, reserved and amiably able to display his always sunny disposition never being cross or upset (even after the window incident in Ms. Padgett’s 9th grade History class) to be a true friend who was always there for you. I remember his backyard birthday party and another one at the rec center. Joe White and I gave him the same 45 record! We lost touch and I often asked Pat Frady about him and was happy to hear he had gained a few inches and was leading a successful and rewarding life of which his loving parents would be proud. We will miss you, Herb and thanks for being such a good and loyal friend.

We met in the first grade at SR Young and were the best of friends all our lives! Everyone should be so fortunate to have as great a friend as Herb.
God bless you and with his blessing we'll meet again.
Pat Frady (McMillan) (1966)
In the last few years I lost contact with Herb and Nancy. Our for us to meet was always in the grocery store. What reunions I went to after my Husband dies I went with Herb anbd Nancy. I like going to there house for dinner on ocassions where we would get in the floor and and look at the Yearbooks . Nancy you and your family will be in my prayers. I will miss Herb.

Hearing of Herb's passsing brings me sadness, smiles from memories of long ago, and even gives me pause. Yes, I pause partly at missing opportunities to connect with Herb in recent years. We missed connecting after by chance in crossing electronic paths a few years ago, but as we were both moving and couldn't get together, time slipped away and we failed to connect face to face, and that makes me sad. Herb was such a good friend in my SR Young school days - lots of fun times together, mostly boys exploring the world and day dreaming. After all this was all during the time of rabbit ears on black TV's, climbing trees and no computers and video games! I still have happy memories of steamed milk, with cinnamon/sugar/toast that his Mom wold make for us on sleep overs at Herb's house. Unfortunately we drifted apart through High School years and then adulthood. I lift up prayers for God's favor to cover Nancy and family in this difficult time. Dallas Rodgers
