Herb is survived by his wife of 47 years, Irene; and his two sons, Don and his wife Anita, and Randy and his wife Doreen.

Herb was predeceased by his father Gerald; and his brothers, Gerald, and Albert. Herb was born in Winnipeg on May 2, 1934.

Herb was a very proud member of the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg, IAFF Local 867. After retiring in 1993, Herb and Irene moved to Abbotsford, BC, to enjoy their retirement. Herbs retirement included involvement in many activities in the Abbotsford area, especially major volunteer service with the Fraser Valley Cancer Society, where Irene just recently retired after three years as the Regional President. A memorial service will be held for Herb on Friday, January 4, starting at 10:00 a.m., at the Douglas Mennonite Church located at 1517 Rothesay St., in Winnipeg. Immediately after the service, a celebration of Herbs life will be held in the church gymnasium. Winnipeg Fire Department Fire Chaplain, Mark Young, will be officiating the service.
