I'm one of Jack's Kamehameha students who he guided for six years.  Based on his advice I attended Colorado State University in 1960 and returned to Kamehameha as a teacher. I know that many Kamehameha students were touched by his guidance.

I played JV Football and Varsity basketball under Jack.  His fiery approach to sports motived me through out my life  -  always trying  to get the most accomplished on and off the field.

Aloha, Jack and thanks for keeping in touch over all these years.

Aloha Herbertson Ohana,

I probably would not have gone to college had it not been for the encouragement of Coach Herbertson. It was largely through his efforts that I attended CSU and was fortunate enough to have had many wonderful experiences attending college and playing basketball for legendary Coaches Jim Williams and Boyd Grant.  My brother Barry and his son Kaipo followed similar paths to CSU, both of whom earned their degrees and had successful basketball careers as Rams .  All of this could not have happened had Coach not believed that guys like us, from a small island community like Molokai, had something to offer.

I regret that I was not as good at keeping in touch with Coach as he was with me.  Like clockwork, he would regularly send me clippings of sporting news from Colorado, particularly during the basketball and football seasons.  The clippings came less often this year, but he never missed a beat for over 40 years.

My aloha and sincere condolences to the Herbertson ohana.  I plan to be in Colorado on July 11 to celebrate with you Coach's remarkable life.  He was a wonderful person to me, for which i will always be grateful.

Aloha,

John Sabas and Family

I was a member of Mr. Herbertson's JV Football team in 1957 and the manager of his Co-Championship basketball team in 1958-59. He was a caring while demanding coach and emphasized the development of abilities we never knew we had. He encouraged us to attend college and as a teacher he affirmed the wishes and intentions of the Will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop,  the founder of the Kamehameha Schools. Mahalo and Aloha Mr. Herbertson

Scooter and the Herbertson Ohana:

Playing on Jack Herbertson's J.V. Football team at Kamehameha was an honor back in 1962 and 1963. Under the leadership of Coach Herbie, we won the ILH championship both years. His old school values played a big influence in my life. I will miss you, Coach Herbie.

With deepest sympathy,

Ike Yamada and family

I played JV football for Coach Herbertson in the 1960s at Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, Hawaii.  He was a tough coach who produced winning teams. Best wishes, condolences and aloha to his family.

John and Barb Olander send our thoughts and prayers to the family.  John remembers working with Jack when Jack was Principal at Lincoln and John was a teacher, basketball coach and Dean Of Students. John will miss him!

To the Herbertson family,

We were next door neighbors to Jack for awhile and our family has good memories of him.  Jack's family is in our prayers.

Sincerely,
