Anya and all Herb&&single&&s family and buddies, you have my sincere sympathy. Herb helped build “bridges” when he and Anya moved here. His help in the greater Seaforth community will long be remembered and appreciated. He was a volunteer with the Food Bank, the Country Classic, the BIA and I am sure many more and his enthusiasm for golf and curling was contagious. Herb was a great neighbor and friend and we will miss him.

Dear Anja, Our hearts were broken when we heard that our beloved Herb has died. He never failed to welcome and amuse us, and to feed us scrumptious meals. We always left his presence better people than when we arrived. Our times together with him are over far too soon. We will miss him dearly.
Anja, Herb was so lucky to have you as his life partner. Your love, care, and dedication were wonderful for us to witness. You are amazing! Please know that you will always be part of the gang! Your friendship is very important to us.
Lots of love,
Terry and Jill

Sorry to hear of Herb&&single&&s passing, Anja. He will certainly be missed by most of Seaforth & community. He was such a fun guy you could tease. Always loved talking to him. Thinking of you at this lonely time.

Condolence from Patti Hendriks on July 1st, 2018 1:00 PM

Anja, my heart bleeds for you. Herb will be truly missed. My first memory of Herb is sitting in his directors chair reading the paper behind your teddy bear table at one of our many teddy bear shows. He tipped the paper down gave me a bit of a smirk that conveyed the chatterbox was back and kept on reading. I knew he was taking in everything we gossiped about. I will miss his culinary advice when I had a question about stock for the store as well. Embrace your grief then set it free, memories are forever.

Condolence from Jack & Fran Malone on July 1st, 2018 5:00 PM
