Herbert was a man of many passions and interests. From fishing excursions in Canada to attending car shows, his love for old cars and county fairs was a cherished part of his life. He also found joy in participating in mission work at the Mountain Mission School in Grundy, VA, demonstrating his compassion for others.

Throughout his life, Herbert found solace in spending time outdoors, whether it was tending to his yard or tinkering in the garage on a new project. His vibrant personality drew in many friends, who knew him as a kind-hearted individual who always lent a helping hand to those in need.
