You were a great brother in law. Think you for your love and respect. Rest in peace dear man. Jan
May you Rest In Peace Uncle Jr. You will forever be remembered for your sense of humor, amazing personality, and of course sneaking the wine every Christmas at Pop-Pops! Your memory will live on with me forever. May God welcome you with open arms in Heaven with all our other Angels. Love you forever.

So sorry to hear about the loss of another cousin. Herbert, Joseph, Robert and Donald are cousins of mine.
My mother was Dorothy Whitmore, was a sister to Herbie, Sr. Know of my prayers.

Rest in peace, Herbie. I’ll never forget all those fun nights playing set back a long time ago. You always said,” you’re either lucky in love, or lucky and cards!” You will be missed dearly, Jan
Over the years I should have stayed in touch . Many good times 40+ years ago. I’ll never forget you buddy.
My condolences to Herb’s family. Herb was a great guy, I’ll always remember his rapier wit, playing ping pong ball endlessly, going dancing in NY (omg, studio 54 new years eve 1984!) city many, many times, and specially the last time we talked. He asked me if I still had hair! We laughed together and I said yes I do! Glad I called him through the years. Will miss him very much, and will always reflect on the time we spent together. Rest in peace. You will not be forgotten.
