He joined the United States Marine Corps, went to college of Advanced Traffic and worked as Traffic Manager and Transportation Manager at Owens Illinois in Hapeville, GA. Herb was a humble, religious, and kind man. He loved singing music. His last song in the choir at Union United Methodist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Rev. Max Hill, was Softly and Tenderly. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
