Mrs. Cambridge and family,

I pray for God's peace for all of you.

I have fond memories of Mr. Cambridge from Naples High in the 1970s - friendly, yet strict, admirable and having high standards.  My condolences to Mrs. Cambridge.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Kathy & I went to school together in Naples. Lynn McGee Muffley

There are few I admire as much, and none I admire more, than Herb Cambridge. Alma, please accept my most sincere condolences on the passing of a great man.

Herb was a great man! I'm glad that my family had the opportunity to know him and teach with him! Best wishes, Molly Godley

Rest in Peace Mr. Cambridge. You inspired many people and will be missed. God Bless you and your Family during this difficult time.

Dear Alma and Family All,

Church Women United meetings were a long time ago for us, but you and your family have been in my heart and prayers.  You had your dear Herb a long time.  God bless you all as you get along without his person but knowing that he is with our Lord and will be waiting for us in due time.   Thank you all for taking such good care of each other.

Have a blessed Christmas and a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year.  I miss you.

Rest easy Mr. Cambridge. It was an honor to know you and your family when I was growing up in Naples. Some of my favorite memories were at the Cambridge home with Mrs. Cambridge, Krysta, their nieces, nephews, and grandkids. Thank you for helping to build Naples into what it is today- and for recruiting minority educators to the city. Indeed, you were a change maker.

I am sorry to learn of Mr. Cambridges passing. I was a student of his when he first starting teaching in Naples High during the 60s, I admired him greatly.

I will always have fond memories of him. 

God Bless your family and God Bless Mr. Cambridge,

My prayers and heart felt sorrow goes out the entire family of Herb Cambridge.  You will be greatly missed as a pioneer in the Naples community, as a giant among men who embraced all as your family including those who migrated to Naples not knowing what to expect. For that I thank you. I also had the pleasure of working with your daughter, Krystal@  DOC.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Cambridge.  You made a big impression as a teacher to the early GulfView students in the great 60's.  

I don't know how long you taught before or after, but they were a great time with you.  Amazing to me actually.  Not just as a classroom teacher but as a life-lesson teacher.

My condolences to the family, now and in the days to come.

Praying for the family.  We have such fond memories of Mr. Cambridge.

I am eternally grateful to Mr. Cambridge for recruiting me and bringing me to Naples, Florida to teach. What a monumental man he was and what an exemplary role model he was for countless young people from our Greater Naples Community. A Mover and a Shaker! Some people talk about improvements, but Herbert Cambridge was a catalyst for change.

To the Cambridge family. I am sending healing prayers and hugs. I was so sadden to hear of your loss. Mr. Cambridge was instrumental in getting me my first teaching job. He will be missed, keeping fond memories. Deepest Sympathy!
Deborah and Amy Mitchell
