((((((((((((((Dob))))))))))))))))))) I feel your loss....truly do with so many who went to their heavenly rest but we will meet them again...and they are always always in our hearts! Share what I borrowed long ago and saved because it spoke to my heart.

Blow me away. That is so wonderful to share and I will be stealing it ....for besides Herb who was very dear to me, in the last six months I have lost my mother 87 , my sister-in-law 61 and 4 days ago my oldest sister 69. It will be a comforting message for many.

Good Afternoon Carl!

Thanks for passing this along.

Please convey my thanks to the group.

Regards,
Steve.

Sorry I couldn't get this to you sooner but the responses to the post about your Dad are priceless...We all here, will sorely miss him.
Please take care,

A treasured Gulcher has passed on. - Galt's Gulch (galtsgulchonline.com)

Yes, a vital piece is now missing in our Gulch.

I am sorry to hear this. 2.5 years ago he said they thought he had dementia which would make him unable to think very shortly. His wife and he dug into the details and found it was a misdiagnosis. With treatment he recovered from the apparent dementia. It sounded like his wife figured it out when he was sick. I am glad he got more life and free commentary for us, but I always want more.

I am so very sorry to hear about Herb’s passing. He truly loved being in The Gulch. He will be missed.

While I did not know Herb, I can tell from the comments that he was a well-liked and respected gentleman. Very sorry for your loss.

Oh, so sorry to hear this! I, too, will miss him.

My Gram never let us cry at funerals, she said the loved one was gone, but forever in our hearts. So too is it with the words of wisdom Herb would post. So sad to lose someone so correct in thinking and lover of Big Band music. We could use more of it today. Condolences to his loved ones. I will play my deceased dad's band version of Harlem Nocturne in honor of Herb today.

A fun and wonderful song. But I don't think "enjoin" means what you think it means. It is lawyerese for "forbid."

The only time I wish for an afterlife is to meet the great ones face to face. Herb, you are one of those. Family, it will hurt for a time, leaving a big empty space. Fill that space with his memory as you make more of your own. Rest, Herb, well earned rest.

He certainly won't be in 7734 (upside down).

from one Steve to another, I am sorry for your loss but am impressed and envious of the connection you two had with Ayn Rand. My father past over 30 years ago, and he was a strong liberal but well read. When I was about 15 I saw he was reading Atlas Shrugged and as a high school student thrilled with Greek Myths, I picked it up, but of course found after several pages it was not what I thought, I dropped it for maybe 20 years but am a great fan today and wish I could or had, discuss the Gulch with my father. You will note my connection as my e mail is JOHNGALT2@VERIZON.NET

Very sorry to hear this. My sincere condolences to his family.

Rest in peace.
Condolences to Herb's family.

Thank you (I Don't Believe Ugly) Carl....remember Herb from the beginning of my being here surely will be missed....good friends come to us in times we just never expect (((((Carl))))))

Yes, Herb would have liked that.
Thank you.

Rest in his Glory Forever Herb

Epitaph
By Merrit Malloy



When I die
Give what’s left of me away
To children
And old me that wait to die.

And if you need to cry,
Cry for your brother
Walking the street beside you.
And when you need me,
Put your arms
Around anyone
And give them
What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,
Something better
Than words
Or sounds.

Look for me
In the people I’ve known
Or loved,
And if you cannot give me away,
At least let me live on in your eyes
And not your mind.

You can love me most
By letting
Hands touch hands,
By letting bodies touch bodies,
And by letting go
Of children
That need to be free.

Love doesn’t die,
People do.
So, when all that’s left of me
Is love,
Give me away.

The world may seem emptier when a good man goes, but it is always richer because he was here. See you on the Far Side Herb.

Yes, he did.

Oh no. Herb & I discussed the 'big bands' of OUR era,...Benny Goodman, Harry James, the Dorsey Bros.....He knew so much....Am so sad as all of us are at his passing, Helen Roberts

Thanks, olduglycarl, for this notification. Herb left this world better for his having been here.

ThanQ brother.

I'll be passing all these replies on to Steve once everyone has had the chance to comment.
