At Forest Lakes Herb was so helpful to all of us. He will be missed by many. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
I have fond memories when Herb and I worked together at Oldsmar. Our birthdays were one day apart and I used to kid him that he was older than I was(by one day) Most of our conversations finally got around to our favorite topic baseball. We would remaniesce about the old days and old stars of baseball and try to figure a way for the Cubs to win the pennant. I miss those discussions and miss him as I know you will. He was a special person. My condolences to the family.
Lovingly,
Paul and Sharon Fresia
