I remember meeting Herb at carving with Ed Morrison. Herb was always helpful and kind. I remember him inviting me to his house to work on carving blanks. I retired from the Navy in 2010 and moved to Denver. I regret not saying good bye and thank you to him for everything he taught me. 

Pat and Family,
Please accept our condolences on Herb's passing, it was such a shock to hear of it. We always enjoyed seeing you and Herb at church and various Weimer events. Wishing you all the best in the days ahead. remembering with all the wonderful memories you and your family had Herb.

Sorry I was unable to see you at the viewing and was not able to stay for the Mass on Saturday.

Pat, Cathi, Beth, Patti, Mike, Bill, and Jim; please accept the condolences of the entire membership of the Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum.  Herb will be sorely missed by everyone.  May God grant you peace in the knowledge that Herb is with our Lord and that he is serving him to best of his ability. May God also grant you strength to carry on.

While the Herb we knew during his life will be sorely missed, at the same time we are all enriched because he was here.  We will be encouraged to do our best all the time, to do what we know is the right thing all the time, and to be kind to each other all the time. Because that's what Herb taught us just by being Herb.

I believe I have known Herb as long as anybody as we grew up in Merrimac Park in Norfolk in the 1940's. At that time it was Navy housing. Following WWII my father became Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 41 and Herb was one of his scouts. My father was a "whittler". Carving was for roast beef. He taught Herb how to whittle, and as everyone knows Herb was a champion. Herb and I over the years would cross paths and it was always a happy reunion. Herb gave me one of his duck tie pins many years ago. I don't have to look for it because it stays on the top of my dresser where I see it every day.

Dear Pat and Family, Please except mine and Charlie's condolences on you loss.  Our memories growing up in   the 40s and 50s have never faded. The carving museum Herb introduced my husband to was such a treat  We will remember him always. God Bless you all. Ruby and Charlie Ruff

It is with great sadness we learned of Herb's passing. Herb and Pat have been friends for many years and we will miss him very much.

Our condolences to his
Family and he will
Be missed by all.

I have considered it a distinct blessing to have joined Herb and Pat's extended family through Brad and Cathi's marriage and regard Herb as among the kindest men I've had the privilege of knowing.  May he enjoy eternal peace in Christ, and may all who mourn his passing experience God's consoling grace.

HERB WILL BE MISSED BY ANYONE WHO EVER KNEW HIM. HE WAS THAT KIND OF PERSON. HIS DEDICATION TO THE ATLANTIC WILDFOWL HERITAGE MUSEUM WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED AND HE BECAME A FRIEND TO ALL THE MEMBERS AND VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM. 
ALICE AND I ALWAYS ENJOYED SEEING YOU PAT AND HERB. WE WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH. WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT THE MUSEUM MEETINGS AND VISIT WITH ALL YOUR MANY FRIENDS THERE.

Herb was a wonderful and kind man. He will be missed by all that knew him. My deepest Sympathy to all the Family.

Aloha to Herb, a great fella whom I admired and respected, a true inspiration.  All my love to Pat Videll and family that I claim as my own extended family. To the many fun days in Chincoteague fishing and playing with Herb, Mike and father Thomas Hise as children in the 1960's to the exciting times watching the Norfolk Neptunes and more recently supporting the ODU Monarchs football.  I thank you for the support you provided through the years, including the great Dinner parties with family and friends and visits to our home on Hatteras Island.  Fair winds and following seas...Herb, you will be missed and never forgotten. Aloha!

It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors of the Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum offers its' deepest sympathy on the loss of our dear friend Herb. We sincerely appreciate his significant contributions over the many years.

Mr "V" you were one of the greatest men I knew and it was a privilege growing up with your family.  I have so many fond memories of my childhood with you guys.  It was always the Driscoll's and the Videll's.  I remember all the great cook outs and the "annual black chicken day cookout" and the block parties. You made us laugh. As a kid you were so much fun to be around.  My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. With Love Always, Patty Driscoll-Campbell
