He had so many wonderful qualities, most of all, his giving and thoughtful nature. He had a great sense of witty dry humor, fun loving, great cook, passionate, responsible, handy jack of all trades, and with the most positive attitude approach to life. Herb was very proud to serve as a BNSF Police Officer for 27 years, without one sick day until diagnosed with cancer. His girls were the joy of his life and he felt very blessed. Herb fought a very brave battle after being diagnosed in January of 200l with inoperable GIST cancer, and was told he would have only a few months.
