Herb enjoyed coaching little league baseball & hockey curling & fishing. The Olds Legion was a popular place for him to go and play shuffle board and socializing with friends. Loved going for drives in the country to see how the crops were growing and reminisced about who used to live on the farms in the area.
Herb was a quiet man, but if you mentioned politics and government he always had plenty to say. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and will never be forgotten as his memory will continue on forever. Dad we love you and will miss you always.
