Herb worked for Imperial Oil from 1958 until he retired in 1990.  He enjoyed his free time doing the things he loved.  Golfing at the Tor Hill and Flowing Springs, and he also enjoyed curling at the Tartan Curling Club.

He loved spending time in his workshop building furniture and birdhouses.  Herb shared his woodworking skills with St. James United Church for numerous projects.  He never missed the opportunity to meet his friends for coffee at the Albert North A&W.  Herb was the happiest when he spent time with friends and family.  When grandchildren entered his life, he cherished all the time he spent with them.   

At Herb’s request there will be a private celebration of his life.
