Glidewell and Dorothy French of Carrollton, Texas, born on September 30, 1943. At the age of 19, he married the love of his life, Georgie Lee Bird, on February 9, 1963. Herbert was a man of few words, but when he did speak, he spoke words of wisdom into all of his kids and grandkids. He instilled work ethic into everyone who knew him. He worked tirelessly to make sure there was always a roof over his family’s head, shoes on their feet, and food on the table. He never met a stranger, whether he was at the grocery store or the bingo hall he would always take the time to talk to somebody in passing. He loved Christmas time because it gave him the opportunity to reach out to not just his family but all the neighborhood kids and make sure everyone had a magical Christmas. He attended The Springs in Seagoville and loved listening to old gospel songs as well as country music. Anyone who knew him would tell you he had a heart the size of Texas.
