We just heard the news. What a terrible shock. Herby was one of my best friends. Hope to find out what happened soon. Until, we'll keep Bunny and the family in our prayers.

Oh man. I sure hate to hear this. His playing and tone was an inspiration to me many years ago.
My prayers to Bunny and the rest of his family... |

I just saw it on Facebook, too - how terribly sad.
He was a good friend to me (we're both train guys!) and a wonderful player.
Does anyone know what happened?

I just spoke with Herby's wife, Bunny, and she asked that I put some information on the forum regarding the passing of Herby. Herby had a massive heart attack this afternoon. Funeral arrangements have not been made at this time due to the Easter holiday. Just keep the family in your prayers during this difficult time.

I had the honor of getting to know and talk to Herby a lot in the last 4 to 5 years. What a great guy he was. We would talk at the steel shows when we both had our boothes close to each other. I will miss him so very much!!
Not just another great player but a great person as well.
Bunny, Ruth and I send our condolences! |

Herby was not only a great player but he was an even better person. Heaven's band just got a new member. Say hello to our friends Herby.
May God comfort the family through this time.
