    I have many happy memories from my childhood of Uncle Herb. Once we all went on a family "road trip" from California to Arkansas via Colorado Springs. We went across the Royal Gorge Bridge and he was teasing me about falling off and laughing all the way. Some of my fondest childhood memories include him and although I wasn't able to spend time with him as an adult, we talked on the phone from time to time and I will miss knowing he is in this world. Also, had it not been for him, I wouldn't be here! My Mom told me that when she was 16, Herb brought a friend whom he worked with at Kimbers home to meet her. They wound up getting married! She said she remembers going on a lot of "double dates" with Herbert & Rosie. So thank you Uncle Herb! You will always be in my heart.....
