My condolences to the immediate family of Herb. My late husband Harvey was a cousin to Herb. Faithfully every year Herb would visit us in Calgary, always on his way to visit with other family and friends. He was so devoted to keeping in touch by his visits and Christmas card greetings. He leaves wonderful memories for all that had the pleasure of knowing him. Norma Goebel - Posted by: Norma Goebel (Cousin - through marriage) on: Mar 20, 2017

My condolences to Herb's family. Herb will be sadly missed by our family as well; for he was a kind, thoughtful, caring person, who knew how to bring joy and comfort into every situation. Herb was a very special person in my Mother's life. He brought her much joy, and offed so much support, when she was going through trying times. They shared a joy of travel, as well as partaking in the simpler things in life. It would stir my heart, when I'd sometimes spot them walking hand-in-hand in the mall. Sometimes they'd be in serious conversation you wouldn't want to disturb; other times they'd just be smiling or laughing. After she got to know this special man, there was not a day in her life that wasn't made brighter by a phone call from Herb; or difficult time made easier if she knew he was going to be there to help her through it. Herb was a kind and spiritual man, whom we know has moved to on to a good reward; but it sure would have been nice to keep him here with us a little longer. May he rest in peace, an may his family find comfort in the knowledge of knowing his was a life fully, and well-lived. - Posted by: Maralaina Holliday (friend) on: Mar 04, 2017

Having known Herb and his family through his son at St. Amant I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Herb worked with my husband Ed at Versatile for many years . He was a good friend. He was kind and thoughtful also coming to visit Ed when he was in palliative care . I am so pleased to have visited with him a couple of weeks ago in River View . We had a lovely visit with son John being there along with sister Thelma and John's care giver Heather. My condolences to Herb's family. Cherish the memories and continue to keep His son John in your hearts. Sincerely , Inga Zahodnik and family - Posted by: Inga Zahodnik (Friend) on: Mar 01, 2017
