Herb will be missed by his sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, honorary grandchildren, friends and neighbours. Predeceased by his parents, sister Ruth and brother-in-law Hugh Craig. Farming his Kraft grandparents farm, 620 km west of Montreal (Bridgeport), Herb owned a livestock trucking business. With Jim Clayfield, their company Fall Land Fields farmed near Breslau and employed many young people. After selling his trucking business to K & H Quickfall, Herb worked for Norstern Meat Packers and several owners who followed them.

He was a faithful member and leader of Bridgeport United Church, a member of the Bridgeport Lions Club for over 40 years and a committed member of the Bridgeport Community Association. Gardeners, neighbours and members of The Healing of the Seven Generations enjoyed sharing the farm and river flats. Herb and Barb welcomed friends from around the world into their home through Scouts, Lions and other exchange programs. Herb was awarded the Silver Acorn in 1978 for distinguished service to Scouting and the Lions Club's Helen Keller and Melvin Jones Awards. Herb touched the lives of countless people of all ages.

Of late years he invested largely in real estate. He purchased the old "Sherington Farm" adjoining his farm on the north, and a year or so ago he bought the old "Bingeman Farm". He now possesses over 600 acres of land. He is a good farmer and a shrewd business man. He has held the office of councillor and reeve for some years but now devotes his whole time to the managing of his extensive farms. His family consists of eleven children".
