Herb grew up on a farm in Abbotsford where he learned the importance of a strong work ethic, of caring for family, the importance of friends and the need to contribute to the community you live in. These four cornerstones of his life led him to own and operate a successful plastering and stucco business in the
Abbotsford area for 45 years, be a loving and caring husband and father, develop a large circle of friends and contribute in whatever way he could to his community. In 2013 The Lions Club award Herb his 60 year pin, recognizing his lifetime of service to the community he had lived in his entire life. Herb was an avid gardener and wood turner who loved to dance, play cards and pool and socialize with his many friends.
