Having lunch with his sister last year, I asked about Herb, our hometown hero. One of my biggest highlights as a kid was getting his autograph. He wrote in purple ink! I will always remember that autograph and it traveled with me through two marriages and got left behind in Baltimore, Maryland. I have regretted to this day not having it. He was in a serious car crash about 10 years ago followed by a stroke. His spirits were always up but he just could not hang on, leaving us at 75 years of age with great memories. Rest in Peace.
