My sincerest condolences to Herb's family. Although it's been almost one year since he passed, I only just found out about it. Don't know if the family is still reading these but I hope so.
Herb and I were childhood friends and sweethearts. We were just 15-16 years old when he joined our group in the Bronx. I have wonderful sweet memories of those days. We reconnected in 2008 after so many years. He came down to see me in Florida, where I now live, and we had a great visit remembering old times. One of our other friends lives in New Mexico and the rest of us are here. Herbie called me shortly before he passed and we spoke for a long time. I'm so sad we didn't get to speak again, although I've thought about him many times since then.
To say that we are sad is a complete understatement. We pray the family is at peace. Sorry, we never got to meet.
Just know that we really loved him. On behalf of his childhood family.
