Please accept my condolences. Bro Herb was a friend and fellow INC Member. I first met Herb in Okinawa Japan around 1989 or 1990 as he was serving a tour on "The Rock" short deployment from the US. Always smiling and kind. Many years later after my time in the Air Force who would have known our paths crossed again in 2002 when I came to be near my family in Florida. We spent the next few years just down the street as Raquel and Herb found a home for us. Always enjoyed watching him on his bike riding back and forth to Patrick AFB to work.  Enjoyed the time talking on the back patio along with overcoming the power outages during hurricanes.  You will be missed by all. Prayers to the all the family and look forward when we will met again in the holy city.  Bro. Eric  

My dad was a very hardworking man. He worked until he physically couldn't anymore. His life started out working in the corn and soy bean fields of Arkansas, led to 21 years in the United States Marine Corps, and give or take 25 years for the Department of Defense. I had birthdays where he wasn't home because he was out of the country, and there was even a time where he was laid off and had to work in Mississippi because it was the only way to stay afloat after losing our home in Palm Bay, FL. If anything is for certain, it's that he always made sure we had food on the table and a roof over our heads. 
This is him in Mississippi where he lived out of a double wide trailer while my mom and I were in central Florida, and my brother was either on his first or second tour to Iraq. I remember visiting him on this trip and how he broke out in tears because he couldn't stand being away from his family for so long, let alone the situation. It was the first time I ever saw him like that. I remember thinking to myself "what the hell is that sound?". He never cried like that. Eventually a position opened up in Pensacola and we were reunited, but this was the hardest time for all of us until recently. 
Semper Fidelis, dad. I miss you already.
