Growing up I knew Herb through my Uncle who was a good friend but unfortunately I only spent about 50-60 hours with him. We sat around a camp fire, we played cards, we went to a mariner spring training & he hosted a birthday party for my 4 year old son at his house in Arizona. He also would stop in our restaurant in Ellensburg whenever he drove through.He introduced me to his printing business as well and made sure I got the full Herb treatment. I often think what it would have been like to be mentored by Herb and tonight while I googled him I was happy to read your blog and get a little bit of Herbs wisdom shared by you. Thanks for writing about Herb and sharing your thoughts.

Herb and Janice helped Jason helped make the top secret & detailed arrangements for Jaosn’s LIVE marriage proposal to me during a Mariners game in July of 2003– while we were visiting them from the SF BAy Area.

The time, the thought, the attention to detail were paramount to Herb and Janice (Jason too) to make this proposal go off without a hitch.
The plan was set into motion:
Jason was broughtby Aunt Janice to Swissa Jeweler’s (Herb & Janice’s good friends) in downtown Seattle to search for the perfect engagement ring! Herb had ECG print up the largest proposal sign I have ever seen. “Anastasia, will see marry me, Love Jason” which was held by the Mariner Moose (who along with all the fabulous employees in the Diamond Club were in on the surprise.
Herb arranged to even have the sports announcers and the TV crew “do a play by LIVE of the proposal seen on TV up and down the West Coast!” as Jason got down on one knee. The ring was presented in a hollowed out baseball that Herb & Janice’s Son, Steve had in his camera case waiting for the “moment” to hand it to Jason! We made the jumbo-tron and all our family & friends back home saw the magical moment on their TV’s. We we did get married in 2004, Herb once again helped create baseball ticket seating tickets for (of course) our baseball themed wedding.

I am sad that we all will not have anymore opportunities to listen to his wonderful stories about his amazing journey through this lifetime. He always had a hug to give or a smile that could light up a room. His LOVE for his family & his friends in every action that he took. Herb was a man that talked the talk and walked the walk. A generous and caring man for those who were in his lives and for some who were just passing through.

This article above that was so eloquently written was truly a testament to the HERB we all know and love! I am going to print this out and place it in my children’s baby books so that they can keep a piece of Uncle Herbie with them as they grow into wonderful human beings!
Thank you sir for such a loving tribute to Herb.

Anastasia

I have known Herb since Junior High School. He has been a good friend and client. He was a very humble, generous and caring man. He shared his success with his Native American relations, the Moyer Foundation, the Highline Medical Foundation, and probably others with which I am not familiar. He has had a positive impact on my life and that of many others. I love that man.

The stronger the relationships the more successfull the family or business. The key to Amway and soon to be SOLAVEI. “I rest my case.”

It takes an amazing person to say such great things about a person as you said about my dad. Herb is a great person and i respect him more than anything in this world. He (we) will beat this Cancer thing together so we can enjoy many more years of good things and good people. With all the stuff i put my dad and my mom through i don’t know where i would be today with out them. And once again. the stuff you wrote about my dad was incredible. Thanks for being friends with my mom and dad..

I was fortunate to have met a couple that sat in front of me for a few years at Shea Stadium. Art was his name and he use to share life lessons with me and my friends as well. Your story brought me back to those days. Thank you!
