He most recently worked for Prudential (Empower) for over 20 years, until his retirement in 2016. He was an avid Iowa State fan, especially when it came to football and basketball. He enjoyed going out to eat, spending time with his family, and relaxing with a good game of solitaire on his computer.

Besides his parents, Herb was preceded in death by one sister, Linda Heid, and one brother-in-law, John (Janet) Schwendinger.

In lieu of plants and flowers, a memorial has been established.
