Roger and I extend our deepest sympathy to you Aunt Alice and all your family. We loved our short but sweet visits over the years with you and Uncle Herbert. We loved his joking, and teasing. He will be remembered as a kind and gentle uncle by both of us. Love Roger and Cheryl.
We will always love you and cherish you in our hearts Grandpa. Love you and miss our times in the garden.
We pray God will comfort you and bless you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and for the future.
Dear Aunt Alice, Tim, Dave and Reg and families, Elnor and I extend our sincere condolences at this time of sorrow. Uncle Herb was always a fun guy to be around and I always enjoyed my time with him whenever we visited. The only exception might be the first time I remember when he shook my hand and no one had ever squeezed my hand so hard. I almost cried! The service for Uncle Herb was beautiful and I really enjoyed hearing the heartfelt remembrances from Tim, Dave and Reg. I think I had forgotten about the karate moves but that all came back listening to Reg. It was great to see the many grand children and to hear from those who couldn’t make it to Kelowna. I will always have fond memories of Uncle Herb. Love Peter and Elnor
Aunt Alice, Tim, Dave, Reg and families, Elnor and I send our sincere condolences. Uncle Herb was quite a guy. It all came back listening to Tim, Dave and Reg share their remembrances of him. Love Peter and Elnor Enslen
Trying to track down Reg Sackmann, college buddy from Aldersgate and found that Herb had passed away. I met Herb briefly in the 80’s and found him to be more comical than Reg. Reg, if you are reading this, you can reach us at 360.794.9314.
Dear Alice, Reg, Dave and Tim, I just stumbled across this notification about Herb today. I just want to say how sorry I am to hear that your husband and father has passed away. Reg was a brother and best friend to me and Alice and Herb were second parents. Alice and Herb were always so kind to me and had me stay for dinner more times than I can count. I am forever thankful for your faithfulness and generosity. If Reg sees this, I am still in Coquitlam and love to hear from you again. Email is gwright715@hotmail.com. Herb were
