He was a retired welder with Daniels Construction with over 25 years of service and a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. Herbert was looking forward to the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the church this month. His favorite day of the week was Sunday, spending time with all the family around the dinner table, to long golf-cart rides in the evenings with his wife and great grandchildren. An avid deer hunter, Herbert was a member of Cash Lakes Hunting Club, and Colonel Cobb’s Hunting Club. He also enjoyed manufacturing grills, smokers, and trailers, and raising his hunting dogs. A man with a giving heart, Herbert also enjoyed growing a vegetable garden each year to share with his neighbors and friends. One of his greatest memories occurred recently when his family arranged for him to ride an Air Boat at Myrtle Beach, SC.
