I have such great memories of Uncle Herbert and the times we spent with Aunt June, Terri and Ronnie and Timmy. We spent a lot of time playing as children at each other's homes. I especially remember Uncle Herberts love of photography. The times I saw him as an adult we always talked about cameras and his travels. Since he and I both had a great enjoyment for taking pictures he gave me several old cameras he had collected over the years. I still have those and always appreciated his thinking of me when he felt he no longer needed or would use them. In addition to his passing I am disappointed I cant make it to celebrate his life and be there to carry him to his final resting spot. He was a wonderful uncle to have had while growing up. He was loved by our family and will be missed by all that knew him. My prayers go out to the family for comfort and love. Thank you Uncle Herbert for the things you contributed to us all. Jerry Ray
