I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Herbie, a true gentleman and one of the kindest, most considerate men I have ever known.
He worked so hard at the creamery, yet always had time for his family after a long day. That same kindness and generosity extended to those around him. I’ll never forget him letting me take his yellow MG for a test drive—the incredible trust he placed in me has stayed with me ever since.
Another memory that says so much about Herbie is the day he cut above his eye while repairing the driveshaft on his Jetta. Despite being badly hurt and needing stitches, he didn’t want to bother anyone. I had to insist on taking him to the doctor. Even then, he was more concerned about inconveniencing someone else than about himself.
Those moments are how I will remember him: hardworking, trusting, devoted to his family and always considerate of others. He will be sadly missed and remembered with great affection.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Frances, Paul, Clive, Elaine and the whole family. We are all thinking of you at this heartbreaking time.
